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.
The volume of investments by Dutch households in listed equities fell by €3.0 billion to €58.9 billion in the first quarter of 2022. The 4.9% drop compared to the previous quarter was mainly due to falling share prices; only a small part was caused by sales of shares.
In the past two years, Dutch institutional investors increasingly preferred riskier high-yield (HY) bonds over their safer investment-grade (IG) counterparts. Most of these investments in HY debt securities are made abroad, for example in US firms and Brazilian and South African governments.
In the fourth quarter of 2021, the surplus on the Dutch current account amounted to €15.2 billion, bringing the full-2021 surplus to €81.4 billion.
