As the Dutch economy is not dependent on Germany, firms find stable conditions in cross border business

In contrast to common believe, evidence shows that the Dutch economy does not depend on the state of the German business cycle. An analysis of annual GDP growth data on different geographical levels (country, province, regions) reveals only very limited correlation between the economic growth in the Netherlands and Germany.For companies in the border region, this means that they can expect to find more macroeconomic stability as they extend their market across the border and are flexible in relocating their activities according to differing national or regional business cycles.
