The Environment
The Dutch are internationally oriented by and know how to meet the needs of their international customers. The global business environment ranking, published by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), has rated the Netherlands number two worldwide (behind Canada) for its overall business environment. The Netherlands has consistently scored in the top three in the EIU’s Business Environment Rankings, which are calculated each year: the country was voted ‘the best place in Europe to do business’ in the coming five years (2004 - 2008). The international perspective inherent to the Dutch population has turned its economy into one of the most accessible in the world.
This recognition comes as a result of years of implementation of rules and regulations to enhance the business climate in the Netherlands.
