The Inflation Perception Gap | Amsterdam News
Description
People in the Netherlands think prices are soaring by eight percent a year—but the real number is way lower, about three times less. This big gap between perception and reality isn’t new, but since the 2022 energy crisis, it’s gotten worse. While inflation dropped from 14.5% to 2.9%, people still believe it’s around 8%. Even in April, half thought prices would keep climbing—up until June, when that belief started to fade. It’s a powerful reminder: how we feel about the economy often matters more than the numbers themselves.
