Social disagreement, problems for hard -working Dutch people and dissatisfied companies: the throne speech sounded gloomy this year. You would almost forget that our economy is actually very good. Today Maarten and Marike look through the political spider and discuss the figures from the Budget Memorandum and the Macro Economic Exploration. Are all worries about the Dutch business climate justified? And is the Dutch budget discipline, which we honor every Prinsjesdag, still aim at this time?
