De Nederlandsche Bank NV

DNB seeks to safeguard financial stability and thus contributes to sustainable prosperity in the Netherlands.

To this end, DNB operates as an independent central bank and supervisor to ensure:

■ price stability and balanced macroeconomic development in Europe, together with the other central banks of the Eurosystem;

■ a shock-resilient financial system and a secure, reliable and efficient payment system;

■ strong and sound financial institutions that meet their obligations.

By issuing independent economic advice, DNB strengthens policies aimed at its primary targets.
