Service industry
May 27, 2010
The Dutch economy is making a shift from a production-based to a service-oriented economy. Nowadays, over 80% of Dutch economic activity is service-based. Holland is home to several internationally renowned banks, including ING and Rabobank, both of which are in the world’s top 20 companies in their branch. Dutch banks generate half of their revenues outside Holland’s borders, which puts them among the most international banks in Europe.
