DNB

Abstract

DNB is committed to a stable financial system: stable prices, solid financial institutions and properly functioning payment transfers. In the fulfilment of all its tasks, DNB puts into practice its mission: working on trust. DNB seeks to safeguard financial stability and thus contributes to sustainable prosperity in the Netherlands. The DNB Household Survey, undertaken by CentERdata at Tilburg University, provides annual financial information on 2,000 Dutch households. The survey began in 1993. After registration DNB data is available via the CentERpanel platform. DNB Household Survey topics include: work, pensions, accommodation, mortgages, income, assets, liabilities, health, perception of personal financial situation and perception of risks. The related LISS panel is the core element of the project 'Measurement and Experimentation in the Social Sciences' (MESS). Panel data allows researchers to carry out their own survey, or to design an experiment. As an independent central bank, supervisory authority and resolution authority, DNB works in tandem with its European partners to achieve: price stability and a balanced macroeconomic development in Europe, a shock-resilient financial system and a secure, reliable and efficient payment system, and strong and sound financial institutions that meet their obligations and commitments. By issuing independent economic advice, DNB strengthens policies aimed at its primary targets.
