Dutch central bank warns of stagnant economic growth

THE HAGUE, Dec. 18 (Xinhua) -- The Dutch economy is expected to see hardly any growth this year, with higher unemployment, increased bankruptcies and less household spending, the Dutch central bank DNB said on Monday.

The growth rates are anticipated to be 0.
