In 2022, the AFM is celebrating its 20th anniversary. During this 20 year period the financial sector and our supervision have undergone considerable development – in part through a process of trial and error, but also, and increasingly, in dialogue with each other.

This publication affords readers a glimpse of our ‘purple’ heart. The story of our origins will help our stakeholders understand how we will continue to realise our mission and what they can expect from us in the future.
