The caretaker Dutch government says it will spend an extra 2 billion euros ($2.1 billion) per year to tackle poverty.
While the Dutch economy remains healthy, many households on lower incomes have been hit hard inflation over the last year, fueling discontent in society. The extra expenditure will be covered in part by raising taxes on the wealthy as well as increasing taxes on tobacco and alcohol.
Government expenditure is expected to exceed €430 billion over the next year while revenue will be more than €402 billion. The country is expected to have a budget deficit of 2.9% of gross domestic product in 2024 while national debt will be 47.3% of GDP, the government said. “The Cabinet is spending more than 7 billion euros on asylum and immigration next year and only 2 billion on spending power of Dutch people. That is the world turned upside down,” Wilders’ party said in a statement.
