Matteo Cotugno

Chapter 6 in Cooperative Banking in Europe, 2010, pp 107-128 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The Dutch economy is characterized by a considerable opening towards international trade and an unemployment rate among the lowest in the European Union. Historically, its strategic economic sectors are linked to the world of agriculture and fishing, and recently to the petrochemical and pharmaceutical sectors. The banking system has played a decisive role in the development of the country. In particular, the cooperative credit system affected the the agricultural sector. Owing to its definitely unique characteristics, the Rabobank Network is a success story in credit cooperation, having reached such a point as to rank among the three leading Dutch banking groups.
