22.04.202604:30:00UTC+00Dutch Consumer Confidence Slumps Further Into Negative Territory in April

Consumer sentiment in the Netherlands deteriorated sharply in April 2026, with the consumer confidence index dropping to -44.0 from -30.0 in March 2026. The latest reading, updated on 22 April 2026, signals a deeper pessimism among Dutch households about their economic situation and future outlook.

The steep decline suggests that consumers are becoming increasingly cautious, which could weigh on household spending in the coming months. With confidence now firmly entrenched in negative territory, businesses and policymakers may face a more challenging environment as weakened sentiment often translates into delayed purchases and restrained consumption.

The move from -30.0 to -44.0 within a single month marks a notable setback in confidence, underlining the fragility of Dutch consumer morale amid ongoing economic uncertainties.
