Labor Productivity of Foreign Companies in the Netherlands on the Rise

According to Statistics Netherlands (CBS), large, foreign-owned, non-financial companies located in the Netherlands increased their labor productivity from $135,000 to $165,000 over the 2000-2006 period, representing a 23 percent growth rate.

Provided they can offset the costs of adaptation (language, laws and regulations, culture and market) by producing better or cheaper products or production processes, foreign companies will invest in the Netherlands, reported CBS.

Additionally, foreign companies with their headquarters and supporting services located in the Netherlands have lower overhead costs, and therefore, higher productivity.
