The Dutch Association of banks (NVB) has updated its publication "Insight into Banks" to bring it in line with the latest developments in the sector. The latest version of the book now also includes information on defense financing and pays extra attention to the implementation of a national investment institution.
The book's content is organized around the strategic pillars of the banking sector: a future-proof financial system, a sustainable economy, and an inclusive society. This revised edition once again provides a comprehensive explanation of how banks operate, their role in the economy, the issues they face daily, and how these themes relate to broader societal developments.
The book also covers current topics from a banking perspective, such as digital euro, lending to SMEs, and financial health. The dilemmas and challenges facing banks are also discussed.
Recently, 35 members of the House of Representatives specializing in banking issues received a physical copy of the book. This way, they are kept up-to-date on current issues in the sector on which they make decisions.
