Explanatory notes
Holland Compared is intended to provide a
concise and representative picture of the
state of the Dutch economy. Every attempt
has been made to select indicators
carefully and judiciously from
internationally renowned and reliable
sources. In the case of most of the
indicators, the Dutch economy has been
compared with surrounding countries
(such as Belgium, Denmark, Germany, the
UK and Switzerland, many of which are
similar in terms of their economic
structures), and the United States.
Comparisons have also been made, in a
number of instances, with other countries,
such as with various global rankings.
