The Dutch Central Bank has cautioned that the collapse of the country’s coalition government could have a negative effect on the economy by increasing uncertainty, which may lead to reduced investment and consumption. Olaf Sleijpen, the central bank’s executive director of monetary affairs and financial stability, stated that while the impact should not be overstated, the lack of a stable government does create an environment of unpredictability. He noted that quantifying the exact impact remains challenging.
