Importance of Dutch-made exports to the UK is increasing
In the first quarter of 2021, total exports of goods produced in the Netherlands grew by 8 percent; much lower than export growth to the UK (24 percent). This is partly because the portion of oil and gas in the export package is much larger than the previous year. Oil and gas prices rose sharply in the first quarter.
Partly as a result of these developments, the share of exports of Dutch-made goods to the UK increased from 6.5 per cent in the first quarter (1e quarter 2020) to 7.5 percent. While this is 1 percentage point higher than in 2020, compared to the first quarter of 2016, the share of Dutch manufacturing exports to the UK is more than 1 percentage point smaller.
