DUFAS responds to Call for Evidence on a European blueprint for savings and investments accounts
The European Commission has requested input on the European framework for savings and investment accounts through a Call for Evidence on a European blueprint for savings and investment accounts. This European Commission initiative aims to promote citizens' participation in capital markets. This should both increase the return on savings and increase the availability of financing for EU companies. From DUFAS, we have responded to this.
DUFAS responds to consultation ‘Policy rule on application of SREP guidelines to managers’
In March, De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) published a consultation on the Policy Rule on the Application of SREP Guidelines to Managers. This policy rule clarifies how DNB applies the SREP (Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process) guidelines to managers. In the Netherlands, not only investment firms but also managers of investment institutions providing MiFID services fall under the IFR/IFD regime. Based on national legislation, these managers are therefore subject to the ICARAP requirement, which authorizes DNB to apply SREP. From DUFAS, we have submitted a response to this consultation, sharing our concerns about the impact of this supervisory regime on Dutch managers.
