Stress index score of financial markets in the Netherlands 2015-2017

This statistic shows the financial market volatility in the Netherlands through a stress index score from April 2015 to April 2017. At the end of April 2017, the stress index score of financial markets in the Netherlands reached a value of approximately -0.13. This is a decrease from April 2015, when the score was 0.21. It shows, for example, that the financial market remained calm at the time of the Brexit referendum in June 2016 and the US elections in November 2016.
Political and policy uncertainty have increased in Europe, and it has not gone by unnoticed in the Netherlands. Whilst the exact economic effects of the Brexit negotiations, for example, are unclear, the CPB (Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis) estimated a GDP growth of 2.1 percent In June 2016. After the Brexit referendum, this estimate decreased to 1.6 percent. The analysts now expected that the growth of the Dutch economy would slow down in 2017.
