Report Highlights
The Dutch population remains highly credit averse The Dutch population still
views debt as a negative situation to be in, unless it is for the purpose of
purchasing a property.
Belgian consumers have traditionally been conservative in regards to spending
- thinking of debt with a negative connotation. Instead, they are more partial
towards saving and have the highest rate of savings in Western Europe.
However, attitudes are changing. In particular, young people are more open to
spending and less inclined to save.
The level of wealth in Luxembourg is far higher than in Belgium or the
Netherlands. Therefore, because they have the earning power to pay off their
debts with ease, consumers are far less reticent than consumers in Belgium or
the Netherlands.
