The Netherlands enjoys a good reputation in monetary terms. Long<br />
before the introduction of the euro, price rises in the Netherlands were<br />
at a moderate level, thanks to sound monetary policies on the part of DNB<br />
(the Dutch central bank). The product and labour markets also operate<br />
relatively well, which helps to moderate price increases. According to the<br />
IMD (2014), the Netherlands ranks third worldwide in the fight against<br />
unfair competition.<br />
