Together with NVB, Verbond van Verzekeraars, APT, Holland Quaestor, Adfiz and VBIN, we have written a memo ahead of the Financial Markets Committee debate that will take place on September 11. The memo, addressed to spokespersons of various parties in the Lower House, addresses the recently published evaluation of the Wbft 2019, conducted by SEO. In the evaluation, SEO recommends examining whether government funding is appropriate for certain supervisory tasks, particularly where the profit principle is less valid, carrying capacity is limited or the establishment climate is under pressure. However, the government insists on passing on the full cost to the sector and justifies this choice, when weighing the policy options, with the argument that there would be a systemic profit. In the memo, we endorse SEO's recommendation to conduct further research into a possible government contribution. We also address a number of other recommendations.
