Household assets shrink as house prices fall
Dutch household assets shrank 10% to an average of €27,000 between January 2011 and January 2012, the national statistics office CBS said on Wednesday.
In 2008, before the crisis began, average household assets totalled €47,000. The drop is largely due to the fall in house prices. Some 57% of Dutch households own their own home, the CBS said.
