Het monetaire beleid in Nederland

Summary Monetary policy in the Netherlands, as conducted since the early fifties, is based on generally accepted principles originating in a Dutch monetary analytical theory. Its basic aim is to prevent, in periods of balanced economic growth, disturbing influences arising from the monetary sphere and to make, in periods of disequilibrium, monetary conditions contribute towards the restoration of equilibrium. To achieve this the monetary authorities act upon the size of the liquidity ratio, i.e. the relation between the liquid means of financing available in the economy and the national income. Although highly quantitative, and also normative in character, Dutch monetary policy is applied in a flexible way, so as to avoid financial crises. The Netherlands' extremely open economy entails that monetary policy finds a natural limit in international conditions. Also, it cannot be effective without the support of other policy instruments, notably fiscal policy. On the other hand, the domestic financial structure, with its fairly sharp distinction between institutions which are (i.e., the banks) and which are not relevant to the control of monetary developments, contributes to the effectiveness of the policy. The same applies to the positive and constructive manner in which the banks cooperate with the monetary authorities, who conduct their policies on the basis of consultation.
