Dutch Retail Sales Growth Cools to 2.5% in January, Easing from December’s 4.5% | Forex News

Stay updated with the latest developments in the forex market. Here's the most recent news from RobotFX.

Retail sales growth in the Netherlands slowed at the start of 2026, with year-over-year gains easing to 2.5% in January, down from a revised 4.5% increase recorded in December 2025.

According to the latest data, updated on 2 March 2026, January’s figure reflects a moderation in annual growth when compared with the same month a year earlier, in line with the standard year-over-year methodology. December’s reading similarly measured the change versus December a year before, indicating that Dutch consumers ended 2025 on a stronger footing than they began 2026.

The deceleration suggests a cooler retail environment moving into the new year, as the pace of consumer spending growth has clearly lost momentum after a comparatively robust December performance.
