### Summary of scope and context
- Technical note on securities regulation and supervision in The Netherlands.
- Notes that regulation of securities and derivatives markets in the European Union (EU) has changed materially since the last Netherlands Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP), with further reforms underway.
- Observes that the securities market landscape in the Netherlands has changed markedly since the last FSAP, largely in response to Brexit.
- States that the Netherlands is now of EU-wide significance in relation to the trading of securities, particularly equities, which has brought challenges for the national authorities.

### Key findings
- The established trading venues are growing and diversifying their offerings.
- New “fintech” entrants with business models that combine trading and post-trading operations in new ways are emerging on the horizon.
- The expansion and diversification of the market have created supervisory challenges for the Autoriteit Financiële Markten (AFM).
- A continuing focus on trading system operational resilience is needed.

### Policy implications and recommendations
- Enhancements to the legislative framework are needed to ensure that the Autoriteit Financiële Markten can:
  - Continue to supervise efficiently and effectively an expanded and more diverse market.
  - Engage credibly with international counterparts.
- Authorities should prioritize further enhancements of their supervisory approach to address market growth, diversification, and fintech entrants.
- Maintain and strengthen measures focused on trading system operational resilience.
