Netherlands climbs to 4th place on Europe's list of GDP per resident

The Netherlands has climbed to fourth place on the European list of gross domestic product (GDP) per capita.

To arrive at this figure, Statistics Netherlands (CBS) divided last year’s total economy size by the number of Netherlands residents. Then you end up at over 53,000 euros, about 1.5 times higher than the average in the European Union.

In 2021, the Netherlands was still in fifth place.

It is always a bit of a change with Sweden. That has to do with the exchange rate of the Swedish crown.

Luxembourg has had the highest GDP per capita for years. The country owes its high position mainly to its many financial institutions.

Ireland is in second place, followed by Denmark.

At 12,000 euros, Bulgaria has the lowest GDP per capita in the EU. This is more than 2.5 times lower than the European average.

According to a recent survey by the employers’ association, almost 30 percent of entrepreneurs in the Netherlands no longer find our country attractive to make investments in due to government policy.

About 60 percent of companies believe that the businesses climate has deteriorated in the past five years.
