Statistics
At DNB we provide statistical data on the Dutch financial sector and the Dutch balance of payments. With these data, statistics and our expertise, we enable policy makers, researchers and other interested parties to monitor developments and achieve societal goals better.
For example, we provide the latest financial and economic statistics on household savings, mortgage interest rates and foreign direct investment. We also publish data based on supervisory information, such as the average funding ratio of pension funds.
In our statistical news releases you can read about current developments. And our thematic dashboards give graphical presentations of various data. You can also use the “Data search” option to access the data yourself. Here you can look up and download data and even embed them in other websites.
Solid and objective statistics are more important than ever at a time of information and disinformation overload.
