About DNB Bank

At De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB), we passionately believe that a sound understanding of financial matters leads to wiser, more nuanced financial decisions. This benefits not only the individual, but also bolsters the economy as a whole. To this end, our institution is strongly committed to promoting financial education across the Netherlands.

At DNB, we engage in multiple initiatives to ensure that essential financial knowledge is accessible by supporting and working in close partnership with various entities, with an expansive array of educational programs catered to school teachers being one of our key focuses. These education programs provide a comprehensive range of resources ranging from physical educational packages, digital learning content, practical tools, and engaging animations.

These pedagogical resources have been designed so that they can seamlessly be integrated into regular classroom teaching, enhancing the learning experience for students. In addition to the education programs tailored for secondary and higher education that we develop in-house, we are also proud to provide an array of specialized learning materials for use in primary schools in partnership with the Money Wise Platform.

The Money Wise Platform is a vibrant, collaborative endeavor that amalgamates the expertise from diverse stakeholders including the financial sector, public administration, and the education system. The alliance strives to foster a culture of responsible financial behaviour through the dissemination of financial information, user-friendly calculation tools, and tailored educational programmes designed for schools.

DNB is honored to hold the position of a founding member of the Money Wise Platform. One of the Money Wise Platform's most highly acclaimed initiatives is the annual National Money Week. During this ambitious event, finance professionals give engaging, free guest lessons and organize educational workshops across primary schools throughout the Netherlands. The overarching aim is to educate children in an enjoyable, interactive manner about managing money responsibly.

As part of DNB's earnest involvement in this initiative, dozens of our dedicated staff members volunteer each year to deliver these guest lessons.

Achievements

DNB's most significant achievements include its core tasks: ensuring financial and price stability in the Netherlands. It also advises on Dutch public finances and fiscal policy, and is embedded in government financial discussions. This role allows it to influence the monetary policy decisions of the European Central Bank (ECB) through DNB President's seat on the ECB Governing Council. Its milestone involvement also includes operating as an independent advisory body to the Dutch government on economic and fiscal policies, demonstrating its critical role in financial stability and macroeconomic health.

Case Studies

A notable case for DNB was during the financial crisis and the coronavirus crisis where the importance of buffers in public finances were emphasized. Government interventions to prevent cutbacks in difficult economic times illustrated how fiscal policy can further reinforce downturns and increase risks to financial stability. The value of bonds falling due to doubts about the sustainability of public finances demonstrated potential problems for banks and investors, and this revelation has made DNB focus on reducing these risks.
