Significant investments are required to enhance the innovative capacity of Dutch society, boost economic growth and promote prosperity of households in the Netherlands. The Dutch capital markets can be an important partner for the government in attracting funding for the investments that are needed. We invite politicians to come to joint effort to put the Dutch capital markets to work for economic growth and innovation.
To that end, we recommend that the incoming cabinet improves the business climate in the Netherlands through predictable and stable fiscal policy and investment in talent development while at the same time retaining access to the international labor market. Furthermore, private investment should be spurred through tax incentives, improved investor education and balanced investor protection. Institutional investment, in turn, could be facilitated through public-private partnerships. Finally, we urge the incoming cabinet to promote further European integration of capital markets by strengthening the internal market, creating effective supervisory reporting requirements and keeping a close eye on the specific interests of Dutch capital markets throughout the Brussels policymaking process.
