Summary

While recent moves to limit production reiterate the absurdity of the country's green movement, the recent elections have put a significant dent in the more outlandish elements of O&G policy. Consequently, we have further upgraded our outlook to Neutral.

Investment & 
Operational
Climate

The Netherlands is among the largest recipients and sources of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the world. This can be attributed to the Netherlands’ competitive economy, historically business-friendly tax climate, and many investment treaties containing investor protections. The Dutch economy has significant foreign direct investment in a wide range of sectors including logistics, information technology, and manufacturing. Dutch tax policy continues to evolve in response to EU attempts to harmonize tax policy across member states.
