Here, a distinction should be made between the national and international dimension. Nationally, the issue of systemic stability is particularly relevant for small countries where very large banks or financial conglomerates have emerged. In the Netherlands, systemic supervision, aimed at safeguarding overall financial stability, is the domain of the Nederlandsche Bank, especially where banks and payment systems are concerned.
So one bank may achieve its priority sector target by lending predominantly to agriculture, while another may lend only to MSMEs in meeting its target. The weights will be adjusted so that overall targets are met by the system.
