In 2009, the economy suffered a shock when it shrank 4% due to the global financial crisis. It grew in 2010 by 1.6% but slowed again in 2011 due to sluggish domestic consumption and the stagnant housing market. The Eurozone crisis added to the country's woes through 2012 and 2013 with the economy still in recession. The central bank of the Netherlands has predicted a slow return to growth over 2014-2015. The economy is still burdened by high private debt and government austerity measures that have suppressed domestic spending. In November 2013 the credit rating was downgraded from AAA to AA+ due to worries concerning growth prospects.
Its export partners by volume are Germany, Belgium, France, the UK and Italy. As for imports the main partners are Germany, China, Belgium, the UK, Russia, the US and France.
