Risks to the outlook

14

EU/UK trade negotiations – Transition period runs until 31 December

  • 2020. A 2-year extension can be granted
  • nce if mutually agreed prior to 1 July

2020, but this seems unlikely – The IMF estimates a long-run reduction in

  • utput of 0.7% with a standard free trade

agreement and a 1.0% reduction should the EU and the UK default to WTO rules

Underutilization of government budget – 2019 saw a 1,4% underutilization of the government budget, mainly due to labor market constraints and to a lesser extent due to the nitrogen-crisis. An underspending of €4,0 billion (1,3% of budget) is estimated this year, which results in a reduction of 0,5% GDP growth

Protectionism – While a relatively small share of Dutch exports goes to the United States, the largest proponent of trade restrictions over the last few years, flow on effects of decreased world trade could impact GDP growth. – Trade is becoming more and more a geopolitical weapon, leaving The Netherlands, as a traditional trading nation, exposed

Investor presentation - 10-year DDA

slide-15
SLIDE 15

Strong fundamentals and policies

15

Brexit contingency measures are being taken – Contingency plans include increased personnel for border security to ensure relatively smooth trading should increased border checks become reality

The Netherlands is among the most competitive countries in the world – Strong competitive position (no. 4 WEF) puts The Netherlands in a healthy place to cope with decreased trading activity

Strong public finances leave the government with a comfortable buffer should risks materialize

Households have a strong net asset position – Pension assets are the highest in the world

Government policies address concerns around housing market – Reduction of interest rate deductibility – Obligatory repayment of mortgage within 30 years – Reduced Loan-to-value ratio (100%) – Government announced plans in September 2019 to invest 2 billion euros to increase supply in the housing market

Current Government Policy

Supplement I

35

slide-36
SLIDE 36

Government of Rutte (III) took office on 26 October 2017

Long-standing tradition of ‘trend-based’ budgetary policy  government expenditure levels are determined at the beginning of the government term, are fixed and cannot be exceeded during the government term

Specific investments are in the field of defense, education, security, environment, infrastructure and elderly care

The government plans contribute to the continued strong economic outlook for the Netherlands

Elections are scheduled for March 2021

Present political situation

SLIDE 37

Governmental plans

37

Housing market

Accelerated reduction of the mortgage interest deduction: in steps of 3% per year to the base rate

Maximum LTV for new mortgages down to 100%

Government announced plans in September 2019 to invest 2 billion euros to increase supply in the housing market Pensions/retirement

New pension agreement, more suited to the current era, has been agreed on 5 June 2019 by government and social partners

Retirement age increased to 67+ from 2024

  • nwards (initial plans called for 2021)

Investment fund

The Dutch Minister of Finance is currently working out the details of an investment fund to safeguard the economic growth of the Netherlands in the future Labour market

Lower tax rates on labour (and higher rate on consumption)

Institutional changes to reduce labour market segmentation; increase attractiveness for employers to offer fixed contracts.

Investor presentation - 10-year DDA

slide-38
SLIDE 38

The pension System

38

New pension agreement, more suited to the current era, has been agreed on 5 June 2019 by government and social partners

The rise in pension age will be slower than initially proposed by the government, but is linked to life expectancy, which will make the pension system more sustainable

Pension funds are seeing lower coverage ratios due to the lower interest rates

Sustained lower interest rates can result in cuts in pensions/ increased contributions in

  • 2021. This is a risk to the outlook for

consumption

Investor presentation - 10-year DDA

slide-39
SLIDE 39

Fiscal spending

39

The Dutch Minister of Finance is considering an investment fund to safeguard future economic growth of the Dutch economy

The specifics of the fund are currently worked

  • ut by a working group in the Ministry of

Finance

The Minister has since clarified the Dutch State will not pre-fund any investment projects on the capital market

The DSTA therefore does not envisage a large, immediate, increase in funding due to these plans

In the long term this specific fund should be supportive for the Dutch economy and its growth potential

  • During the credit crisis in 2008 the State had to intervene in the financial sector to maintain financial

stability of our economy. As a result, several financial institutions have been nationalized of which ABN Amro and insurer ASR (2008) and later on bank-insurer SNS REAAL (2013).

In the past few years, the Dutch State gradually reduced its stakes in these financial institutions. This resulted in privatization of the insurance and real estate part of SNS REAAL (respect. in July 2015 and September 2016), and a completed privatization of ASR (ended in September 2017).

The remaining stakes are: – ABN Amro: remaining 56% stake (current market value ≈ € 8.8 bn) will be sold in coming years – Volksbank (former banking part of SNS REAAL) – no decision yet on privatization

Policy framework

Supplement V

66

slide-67
SLIDE 67

Designing the framework is mainly about the optimal funding strategy and the optimal trade-off between costs and risks

In the past the Framework was evaluated every four years

Recommendations from this evalution lead to changes to the framework

In 2020 a new framework has come into force for a period of 6 years.

There will be an evaluation of the risk indicators every two years in order to be able to respond quicker to market circumstances

Policy framework

67 Investor presentation - 10-year DDA

slide-68
SLIDE 68

The two risk indicators from the previous framework will be maintained

The average maturity will be increased further, towards 8 years – Lock in low rates – Contribute to budget stabilization – Follow market appetite

The 12-month refixing amount will be capped at 30% of debt years – Healthy budget and lower debt levels -> higher capacity to bear risk – The rise in the refixing amount follows from the composition of the swap portfolio: mainly payer swaps are set to expire in the years ahead

Policy Framework 2020-2025

SLIDE 71

On 21 May 2019 the State of The Netherlands issued its inaugural green bond.

DSTA felt the issuance of the Green bond was appropriate as it was embedded in wider government policy as well as the agenda for the financial sector: – Netherlands Energy Agreement in 2013 – Climate ambition in Coalition Agreement 2017 – National climate and energy was agreed by lower house in 2018 and signed into law June 2019

Agenda financial sector: encouraging the sector – More attention in supervision – Active contribution of financial sector – Attention for ESG criteria

Motivations for issuance of Green Bond.

Practise what you preach: Minister of Finance concluded after extensive study that issuance of a green bond is feasible and desirable.

Further support of the green finance market: introducing a solid asset class to this market as well as adding critical mass

Set an example: provide other borrowers with a best practice green bond framework which can be used as guidance for future issuance
