There has been an enormous growth in financial law in the Netherlands, theEuropean Union and more globally in recent years. Not only national but alsosupranational regulators are involved in enacting laws and issuing policy guidelinesin the field of financial law as a result of which financial law in theNetherlands has become international in scope and application and therefore relevantto an increasing number of international participants. In order to master thisexpanded financial law, the idea came up to publish a book written in the Englishlanguage which deals with the most important Dutch financial law issues. Thisbook endeavours to provide a practical, but nevertheless thorough survey of Dutchfinancial law. Through this publication it is hoped that Dutch financial law willbecome accessible to both Dutch and foreign law students, legal counsels, lawyersand others who are seeking an understanding of the content of financial law in theNetherlands.
