Netherlands stands alone in Europe on defence borrowing
Original: uitgaven
Almost every European country is taking on debt to fund higher defence spending, but the Netherlands is holding back. State secretary Heinen continues to repeat his mantra that 'every euro paid in interest you never get back', resisting the borrowing trend seen across the continent. The stance is drawing attention as European governments rearm amid security concerns.
Why now: Ongoing European pressure to raise defence budgets has put the Dutch refusal to borrow for military spending in the spotlight.
