In August 2017, yield on ten-year government bonds of the Netherlands reached a value of approximately 0.54. A ten-year government bond, or treasury note, is a debt obligation issued by a government which matures in ten years. They are considered to be a low-risk investment as they are backed by the government and their ability to raise taxes to cover its obligations. Investors track them, however, for several reasons. First, these bonds are the benchmark that guides other financial interest rates, such as fixed mortgage rates. Second, their yield will tell how investors feel about the economy. The higher the yield on a ten-year government bond, the better the economic outlook. In 2018, the yield forecast of ten-year government bonds in the Netherlands is expected to reach a value of approximately 0.5 percent.
