The supervisor, the politicians and the banks are talking a lot about restoring trust, but it is ultimately not something you can gain yourself, it is given to you. However, there is a lot you can do to create the right conditions. Like preventing negative publicity, where possible. Like learning to read the public sentiment, which is not easy I admit.
By making a contribution to addressing social challenges. For example by supporting the green transition. The way the financial sector supported the negotiations and pledged funding, did a lot to hammer out the national Climate Accord. As chief supervisor for the Dutch banking sector I am very grateful for that. These are all steps that may contribute to restoring trust.
