According to the World Bank, the government of the Netherlands is<br />

one of the most effective in the world, thus making it easier for<br />

companies to make medium and long-term decisions.<br />

The figures for government effectiveness capture the perceptions of the<br />

quality of public services; the quality of the civil service and the degree<br />

of its independence from political pressures; the quality of policy<br />

formulation and implementation; and the credibility of the<br />

government’s commitment to such policies.<br />
