Together with other market participants, ABN AMRO Clearing Bank has co-signed a paper calling for further integration of European capital markets and for boosting the Netherlands a financial center.
Significant investments are required to enhance the innovative capacity of Dutch society, sustain economic growth at a higher level, and promote household prosperity. The Dutch capital markets can be an important partner for the government in attracting financing.
We are extending our hand to politicians and propose a joint effort to put the Dutch capital markets to work for economic growth and innovation. To that end, we recommend the next government improves the business climate, through predictable and stable fiscal policy and investment in talent development while maintaining access to the international labour market.
Furthermore, private investment should be spurred through tax incentives, better education and balanced investor protection. Institutional investment, in turn, should be facilitated through public-private partnerships. Finally, the government should promote the further European integration of capital markets by strengthening the internal market, creating effective supervisory reporting requirements and acknowledging the interests of the Dutch capital markets throughout the Brussels policymaking process.
