Dutch Central Bank (De Nederlandsche Bank) in talks with HOGIAF entrepreneurs
On 7 June, we at HOGIAF had a very fruitful conversation with Messrs M. Gelderman and B. Zwagemakers of De Nederlandsche Bank about the challenges and concerns of our members regarding the banks' current and, in part, changing attitude and approach. Many topics were covered, from SME financing to the WWFT.
Quote from Mr Gelderman: Access to credit is a challenge for every SME owner, and banks and their customers are struggling with the rules against money laundering and terrorist financing. For your members there are additional challenges on top of that, and it was valuable to hear them first hand. That is the way to work towards a system that achieves important societal goals and ensures that this is done responsibly.
