TITLE: Netherlands Ministry of Finance Amends Financial Markets Regulations Through Comprehensive Decree BODY: On July 9, 2026, the Netherlands Ministry of Finance published a comprehensive amendment to financial markets regulations through Staatsblad 2026, 223. The decree, which entered into force on July 24, 2026, modifies the Conduct of Business Decree for Financial Undertakings under the Financial Supervision Act (Wft), the Market Access Decree, the Administrative Penalties Decree for the Financial Sector, and related regulations. The amendment introduces significant changes across multiple areas. Financial service providers—including credit providers, investment advisors, brokers, and agents—must now maintain written records documenting which activities have been outsourced and to which third parties. These providers must also execute written agreements with third parties specifying rights, obligations, and termination procedures. The Authority for Financial Markets (AFM) will monitor compliance with these outsourcing requirements. For custodians, the decree establishes new procedures requiring written notification to the AFM of proposed changes to key personnel, including daily policy-makers, policy-makers, and supervisory board members. The AFM must approve such changes within six weeks of notification, or within thirteen weeks if additional information is requested. Custodians must provide specified documentation including curriculum vitae, identity copies, and references. The amendment eliminates the use of property tax valuations (WOZ-waarde) for determining residential property values in mortgage lending, replacing this with requirements for professional appraisals or statistical models. Statistical models must be reviewed annually by external accountants and meet specified accuracy thresholds, with loan-to-value ratios capped at 90 or 70 percent depending on model performance. Additionally, the decree removes the triennial reliability reassessment requirement for policy-makers at financial institutions in the Caribbean Netherlands, aligning with European practice and reducing regulatory burden. Investment firms must designate a qualified employee responsible for protecting client financial instruments and funds. Enhanced administrative penalties are introduced for trust service violations and other breaches. The Ministry consulted stakeholders between January 23, 2026, and March 7, 2026, receiving thirteen public responses addressing valuation standards, outsourcing rules, and custodian notification procedures. The Authority for Financial Markets and De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) confirmed no implementation obstacles or increased supervisory costs.
