Financial Law in the Netherlands

by Marcel C. A. van den Nieuwenhuijzen

Overview

There has been an enormous growth in financial law in the Netherlands, the European Union and more globally in recent years. Not only national but also supranational regulators are involved in enacting laws and issuing policy guidelines in the field of financial law as a result of which financial law in the Netherlands has become international in scope and application and therefore relevant to an increasing number of international participants. In order to master this expanded financial law, the idea came up to publish a book written in the English language which deals with the most important Dutch financial law issues. This book endeavours to provide a practical, but nevertheless thorough survey of Dutch financial law. Through this publication it is hoped that Dutch financial law will become accessible to both Dutch and foreign law students, legal counsels, lawyers and others who are seeking an understanding of the content of financial law in the Netherlands.
