The Dutch central bank will look into its historical links with slavery, joining institutions from around the world in taking a stance on condemning racism.
The Amsterdam-based regulator will task an independent party to conduct the investigation, spokesman Bouke Bergsma said by email. Research will focus on the early years of the bank’s more than two century-long history and its executives during those times.
