Shadow of the crisis

The government writes in the Budget that it goes better with the Dutch economy, but the recovery is fragile and sensitive to international developments. It therefore wants to stick to its current course:. Put public finances, reform and fair sharing

Housing
He points out that there has been progress. the “sometimes painful measures’ Exports and business investment are increasing and the housing market recovers. “The public finances have come into calmer waters. These are positive developments, but it is not enough to work and income to take away. “The concerns of people

Estimates

That is lower than the 2.7 percent this year, but slightly higher than the CPB estimates mid-August.

The other major figures are unchanged from the estimate last month:. Unemployment is falling next year from 650,000 to 605,000 people and economic growth is estimated at 1.25 percent.
Resentment
The government’s decision in August, the national budget and other budget lines . However, these are only on Budget Day public. Each year the secrecy creates resentment in parliament and the press. Moreover, a lot of information leaking prematurely.
In the past, the government has often opted to give the pieces. Few days before Budget Day embargoed This usually led to even more leaks. This year, only MPs information under embargo, on a secure USB drive. That’s another source of consternation of the press.
Consistency
Rutte responded reluctant on plea Chamber President Anouchka van Miltenburg order before sending the budget. Pieces around Rutte will not like this idea. “It is detrimental to the relationship between the budget headings. Everything is connected to everything, “said the prime minister. When each chapter shall be released once it is finished, that connection.
“An ideal solution does not exist,” said Rutte. But before releasing the Budget Documents, according to him, are detrimental to quality. However, the Prime Minister can imagine that next year another embargo regime comes in the run-up to Budget Day.
