LIFTING OFF AGAIN

摘要

The Netherlands' financial sector is now back on track after a bumpy ride and some spectacular derailments. When Fortis, the Belgian-Dutch financial group, found itself in trouble in 2008, the Dutch state nationalised every company in the country bearing the name -Fortis Bank Netherlands, the Fortis-owned parts of ABN Amro Bank and two insurance companies. At the same time, the government injected €10bn of core capital into the financial conglomerate ING, €3bn into insurer Aegon and €750m into SNS Reaal, the banking and insurance group. To cap it all, DSB, a small Dutch bank, went bust in 2009.
