Decrease in trade between Russia and the Netherlands by 26.5% to $5 billion

The volume of mutual trade between Russia and the Netherlands in 2024 decreased to $5 billion. This was announced in February 2025 by the Russian Ambassador to The Hague Vladimir Tarabrin. According to him, the turnover rate decreased by 26.5% compared to 2023.

According to TASS, the scale of the reduction in trade relations is especially noticeable in comparison with the pre-crisis period - in 2019, trade reached $41.4 billion. The main factor in such a significant decrease was systematic restrictive measures by the Dutch authorities. In particular, the Netherlands has imposed a ban on the export to Russia of a wide range of goods that can be classified as dual-use products.

The embargo imposed on the import of energy resources from Russia, with the exception of the supply of liquefied natural gas, had a significant impact on trade relations. Earlier, it was the energy sector that formed the foundation of economic interaction between the two states, providing a significant share of trade turnover.

Russian companies that have maintained a presence in the Netherlands face unprecedented obstacles to their business. Vladimir Tarabrin stressed that enterprises are experiencing serious difficulties with renting working premises in the kingdom. Moreover, local law firms have actually stopped providing trust services to Russian companies, which significantly complicates their operating activities.

Since 2022, the Dutch authorities have taken a principled position on Russian assets, becoming one of the initiators of restrictive measures in Europe. For violation of the sanctions regime, the country's legislation provides for criminal liability with real terms of imprisonment. Such policies have led to a significant reduction in business activity between countries.[1]
