2026.08.2104:30:00UTC+00Dutch Consumer Confidence Inches Up in August, Remains Deep in Negative Territory

Consumer sentiment in the Netherlands improved slightly in August, though it remained firmly in pessimistic territory, according to the latest official data.

The Dutch consumer confidence indicator rose to -34.0 in August 2026, up from -35.0 recorded in July 2026. The marginal increase suggests that while households are marginally less pessimistic than a month earlier, overall confidence remains very weak by historical standards.

The updated figures, released on 21 August 2026, indicate that Dutch consumers continue to face an environment marked by uncertainty, with sentiment still far below the neutral zero level that separates pessimism from optimism.
