Investment climate equally unfavourable in March
Every month, CBS publishes an update on the investment climate in the CBS Investment Radar. Factors that are relevant to the investment climate include the situation in sales markets and the financial markets. Although the radar indicators correlate fairly well with fixed investment, improved conditions do not necessarily result in greater growth or a smaller contraction in investment.
According to the CBS Investment Radar for March, the investment climate in the Netherlands was equally unfavourable than it was in January.
