Consumer confidence reaches eight year high, jobless total falls
Dutch consumer confidence reached an almost eight-year high in June, the national statistics office CBS said on Thursday.
The confidence index has risen four points and now stands at +6, the CBS said.
In February the index rose above zero for the first time in over seven years, recovering from a record low of -44 set in February 2013
The unemployment rate also went down slightly from 7% to 6.9% in May, the CBS said. The improvement is due to more women finding work.
