Taking out health insurance, saving for a home, putting aside money for extra pension income – for all your money matters, you must be able to rely on financial institutions, such as banks and insurers. At De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) we are working hard to keep the financial sector secure and stable. Financial institutions must hold sufficient capital and comply with the law, and we supervise whether they do so. If they do not, we will take action. If your bank goes bankrupt, we will activate the deposit guarantee scheme. As an account holder, you will get your money back up to a maximum of EUR 100,000.
Background
Higher energy prices, uncertainty, and cautious consumers and businesses are holding back growth. Our Spring Projections show that the impact on inflation remains moderate for the time being. Below, we highlight the key developments in five figures.
Background
Inflation and economic growth are linked to energy price movements. That is why we added two scenarios to our Spring Projections: an adverse and a severe scenario. Rather than predicting what will happen, they show what might happen if oil and gas prices stay high for longer and/or rise further.
Press release
Growth in the Dutch economy is expected to be significantly lower this year than in 2025. This is largely due to the war in the Middle East, which has also caused inflation to rise in recent months. This is evident from the Spring Projections, published today by De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB).
