Scenarios and forecasts
Making projections of the development of both the Dutch economy and the world economy is one of CPB's core activities.
CPB publishes short, medium and long term projections. Short term projections (or forecasts) are updated every 3 months. Long term projections always present different scenarios of the future.
In the Central Economic Plan 2012 (CEP 2012) CPB presents analyses and projections for the Dutch and world economy.
