  • Summary

The main types of monetary assets within Amsterdam are described, along with the channels by which one monetary asset could be exchanged for another. This chapter also discusses major players in the Amsterdam money markets and their connections to the Bank. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the Bank’s relationship to the City of Amsterdam and fiscal aspects of this relationship.
