2024年12月,荷兰家庭消费同比增长1.8%,高于11月向上修正的0.9%的增长。在汽车和家电需求强劲的推动下,耐用品支出激增7.6%,而能源、汽车燃料和个人护理产品等其他商品的购买量增长了2.6%。相比之下,食品和奢侈品支出下降了2%。与此同时,服务消费增长了0.8%,这得益于交通和通信、医疗服务、酒店和娱乐支出的增加。然而,根据1月份的消费雷达,与12月份相比,2025年1月的消费条件不太有利,主要是由于股票和房价上涨放缓。此外,生产商对劳动力扩张的前景表示更为悲观。
Household consumption in the Netherlands grew 1.8% year-on-year in December 2024, accelerating from an upwardly revised 0.9% increase in November.

In contrast, spending on food and luxury goods declined by 2%. Meanwhile, consumption of services increased 0.8%, supported by higher spending on transport and communication, medical services, hospitality, and recreation.
