Sigrid Kaag: Can the Netherlands avoid a recession this year? | Talk to Al Jazeera

As the geopolitical tensions caused by the Russia-Ukraine war continue to rise, so do concerns over energy supplies.
The Netherlands has stopped importing Russian energy, except for liquified natural gas or LNG. But how is the conflict affecting the Dutch economy?
And as tensions in the Pacific escalate after Chinese balloons were shot down over North American airspace, should Europe strengthen its relations with Beijing?
The Dutch deputy prime minister, Sigrid Kaag, talks to Al Jazeera.

Just keep importing 300.000 people a year. Doesn't matter the Dutch have to pay for a large part and they are given our housing, it rises the GDP so Kaag's international masters are satisfied.

More means [a man] common but hardworking, than those who do great things but have no bread.

I live in the Netherlands. My living conditions are not really worse than 1 year ago. My salary used to be 2000 euros per month last year (26 yo, working in retail without education). Now it's 1700-1800 euros (they give us fewer hours at work), but the living expenses are not much higher yet, so the living conditions themselves and an ability to save are almost the same. Energy prices are higher, but only a few hundred euros PER YEAR. It's still OK. I think mostly people with children or people who want children will get real financial problems. Best wishes to Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Making money is an action. Keeping money is behavior, but “growing money is wisdom”. I found this out a week ago after getting a $10,000 return on my $3,000 investment in 7 days.
