This study aims to explore the primary factors and prerequisites that have contributed to the intensive economic development of the Netherlands. By examining the roles of tourism, logistics, industry, and agriculture, the research seeks to understand how these sectors have driven what is often referred to as the Dutch economic miracle. The study employs historical methods, the theory of relative advantages, and general scientific research methodologies. It analyzes the impact of successful domestic reforms, a favorable trade regime, and deep integration with the European Union on the Netherlands' economic growth. The study identifies key factors that have facilitated the Netherlands' rapid economic growth, including government-led reforms in the late 1990s, a trade regime that emphasizes economic freedom, and strategic integration with the European Union. These elements have collectively enabled the Netherlands to maximize the benefits of the European single market and secure its position as a leading economy within the EU. The research concludes that the Netherlands' economic success is largely due to a combination of well-executed domestic policies and strategic international partnerships. The country’s ability to leverage its geographical advantages, coupled with its commitment to free trade and integration into the European market, has been pivotal in sustaining its economic growth. This study provides a potential roadmap for other nations facing economic challenges due to insufficient national planning. The insights gained could be particularly beneficial for Ukraine as it embarks on post-war reconstruction efforts, offering guidance on how to implement effective economic policies and strategies for long-term development.
