Budget Day 2023
On Budget Day, Tuesday, September 19, 2023, the cabinet presented the plans for 2024 in the form of the Budget Memorandum and the National Budget. Social security is high on the agenda. Entrepreneurs are also concerned about whether sufficient attention is being paid to the economy.

Entrepreneurs gloomy about the economy in the run-up to Budget Day
In anticipation of Budget Day, MKB-Nederland and VNO-NCW asked trade organizations this summer how they view the economy. That's pretty bleak. For example, half (50%) of the trade organizations think that the economy will deteriorate in the near future. Only 8% thinks it will get better.

Poll: How do Dutch companies view the government's plans?
VNO-NCW and MKB-Nederland want to annually map out how Dutch companies look back on the government plans announced during Budget Day. In the run-up to the elections, this year we are mainly asking about the expectations and wishes that entrepreneurs have for a new cabinet. What should the new ministers mainly work on? Where are the biggest challenges and obstacles at the moment, and which (environmental) factors play a role in particular?
VNO-NCW and MKB-Nederland use the results of the poll in their lobbying. Importantly, all sectors, regions and company size classes are well represented in the survey. Participation of as many members as possible is essential! Answering the questions only takes a few minutes.
