The volume of the exports of goods grew 4 percent in June relative to twelve months previously. In May Dutch exports had increased by nearly 9 percent.The volume of imports grew nearly 3 percent in June, which is also less than in May when imports were up by 6 percent. Volume figures have been adjusted for the number of working days.

The value of exported goods totalled 35.9 billion euro, i.e. up nearly 8 percent from twelve months previously. The value of imports rose by nearly 6 percent to 32.1 billion euro, resulting in a trade surplus of 3.7 billion euro. This is 0.9 billion euro over the June 2011 level. The value figures have not been adjusted for calendar effects. June 2012 had one working day more than June 2011.

The value of exports of raw materials and mineral fuels grew substantially in June compared to twelve months previously. Imports of machinery and transport equipment also increased considerably.

Just as in the preceding months, the value of exports to non-EU countries grew much faster than the value of exports to the other EU countries.

Export and import prices were respectively 0.7 and 1.3 percent higher than in June 2011. As a result, terms of trade deteriorated relative to June 2011.

August’s Exports Radar mainly shows worsening situations. In the preceding months, circumstances for Dutch exports had also become less favourable.

For an expat moving to the Netherlands, getting the right direction is very important. It's important that one knows which steps and direction to take. Linda is an exceptionally talent counselor, her advice has helped me land a job within a week of coming to the Netherlands. I am grateful for her mentoring and look forward to a great working relationship in the future.

Together Abroad provided expert advice on personal branding including developing a top-notch, market-aware CV, highly tailored job applications, and approach strategies with potential employers in the Netherlands. Furthermore, I found them be highly knowledgeable in key related fields such as recruitment strategy, immigration law, contracts, labor agreements, and (un)employment benefits. I would recommend Together Abroad to anyone who needs professional help with transitioning to a new career.

Linda is a big mind. She thinks about things that the rest normally overlook. The insight she has about the dutch job market can only be achieved through years of experience and persistence.

Her business savvy is complemented by her mastery of understanding the client's needs and requirements. For my career I could say, she was the “Mary Poppins”, who guided me through thick and thin and helped me to land a career in the Netherlands

S. Bhattacharjee | FP&A Manager

If you are going to enlist the services of a "Career Coach" look no further. The only person you want in your corner is Linda van Orsouw. As an expat, you absolutely want to work with a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional who knows their way around the Dutch career/employment/job market. Linda assisted me in writing and positioning my CV, helped me organize and prioritize my list of opportunities, coached me through mock interviews and was there when I got offered a senior position only 2 months later. When asked I will only refer to Linda and "Togetherabroad".
