Why Dutch Defence Spending Has an Investment Problem
Why Dutch insurers remain cautious on defence investment despite higher NATO spending plans, and what the financing gap means for the Netherlands defence industry.
Policy & Energy Correspondent, Dutch Business Review
Thijs Mulder covers Dutch business policy, energy infrastructure and industrial strategy. His reporting focuses on the rules and physical constraints that determine whether companies can actually expand, including grid congestion, permitting, defence procurement and trade policy.
He uses government, regulator and infrastructure-operator documents as primary sources and concentrates on implementation: how long projects take, who bears the cost and where policy collides with capacity on the ground.
