The Dutch financial sector welcomes and supports the ambitions of the new coalition. The agreement is a step in the right direction to sustainably strengthen the earning capacity of the Dutch economy. The financial sector endorses the importance of stable and predictable long-term policy. Based on that conviction, the organizations involved are reaching out to the Jetten cabinet to work together on the further elaboration and realization of the plans. The sector is keen to discuss the removal of unnecessary national headings on European rules, strengthening the capital market and improving the business climate.
The sector sees clear starting points in the coalition agreement. For example, in the areas of a future-proof economy, stimulating investment and strengthening (cyber) security and sustainability. The coalition agreement confirms that private investment is essential to achieve these ambitions in the coming years. Strengthening the financial sector in the Netherlands and Europe is crucial in this regard. A strong financial sector can mobilize private capital and support innovative companies, such as start-ups and scale ups.
With the combined efforts and expertise of banks, insurers, investment firms and institutions, non-bank financiers, market infrastructure and many other financial institutions, the sector stands ready to work with the government and societal partners to build a stable, secure and sustainable economic future for the Netherlands.
In the manifesto below, the industry makes a number of necessary recommendations to keep our economy stable, safe and sustainable in the future.
