Dutch State sells off more of its ABN Amro shares; Equity stake now below 50%
The Dutch State's equity stake in ABN Amro has fallen below 50 percent, said Finance Minister Sigrid Kaag in a letter sent to the Tweede Kamer on Monday. Back in February, she indicated that the country still owned just over 56 percent of the financial institution, and that the State would gradually reduce its holdings to just under 50 percent.
