Government debt of the Netherlands 1995-2021

In 2021, Dutch government debt saw a contrast to the continued decline it started in 2014, as it increased by around 15 billion euros. 2014 saw the highest government debt in the period surveyed, but then ruling government coalition Rutte II, which consisted of VVD (the Liberal Party) and PvdA (Labor), started to reduce the government debt. This policy continued in the next government of Rutte II, with VVD, CDA (Christian Democrats), CU (Conservative Christians) and D66 (Moderates). With success, as the government debt as share of GDP decreased from nearly 68 percent of GDP to just over 48.6 percent of GDP.

在2021年，荷兰政府债务与前述自2014年起持续下降的趋势形成了鲜明对比，其债务规模增加了约150亿欧元。2014年见证了调查期间政府债务的最高点，但随后执政的鲁特II政府联盟，由自由党（VVD）和工党（PvdA）组成，开始着手削减政府债务。该政策在鲁特II政府的后续任期中得到延续，联盟成员包括自由党、基督教民主联盟（CDA）、保守基督教联盟（CU）和自由民主联盟（D66）。这一举措取得了显著成效，政府债务占国内生产总值（GDP）的比重从近68%降至略高于48.6%。
