In times of crisis, it will become possible to separate retail
banking and investment banking activities in the Netherlands. The
government has announced this in an action plan sent to the Second
Chamber. The government's objective is to strengthen financial
stability, protect savings in the deposit guarantee system, and to
combine various banking activities within a bank.
To enable banks to be separated, the government has proposed
four measures: the Dutch Intervention Act, the European crisis
intervention framework, recovery and resolution plans, and
amendments to the Deposit Guarantee System (see link below).
