1.1 billion from SNS REAAL
As the debate between Statistics Netherlands and Eurostat about how the entry should be incorporated in the calculation of the public deficit was still ongoing, Eurostat decided in April to comment on the Dutch deficit figures, indicating that the maximum effect was 0.3 percentage points of the GDP. The actual effect turns out to be less than 0.2 percentage points of the GDP. In October, Eurostat will withdraw the comment after Statistics Netherlands has officially given the figures to Eurostat to be included in the regular autumn report.
