The Kingdom of the Netherlands was formed in 1815. In 1830 Belgium seceded
and formed a separate kingdom. The Netherlands remained neutral in World War
I but suffered a brutal invasion and occupation by Germany in World War II.
A modern, industrialized nation, the Netherlands is also a large exporter of
agricultural products. The country was a founding member of NATO and the EC,
and participated in the introduction of the Economic and Monetary Union
(EMU) in 1999.
The Netherlands is a prosperous and open economy depending heavily on
foreign trade. The economy is noted for stable industrial relations,
moderate inflation, a sizable current account surplus, and an important role
as a European transportation hub. Industrial activity is predominantly in
food processing, chemicals, petroleum refining, and electrical machinery. A
highly mechanized agricultural sector employs no more than 4% of the labor
force but provides large surpluses for the food-processing industry and for
exports. The Netherlands, along with 11 of its EU partners, began
circulating the euro currency on 1 January 2002. The country continues to be
one of the leading European nations for attracting foreign direct
investment. Economic growth slowed considerably in 2001, as part of the
global economic slowdown, but for the four years before that, annual growth
averaged nearly 4%, well above the EU average.
