Equity turnover on the Amsterdam Exchanges NV increased substantially during the opening half of 1995 at a time when most other major European bourses were experiencing a significant drop in business.
According to figures released by the Federation of European Stock Exchanges, the value of equity trading during the first six months of 1995 in Amsterdam was just over Ecu 52 billion which was a 15.3% increase on the comparable period in 1994.

Compared with the major European equity exchanges, Amsterdam did exceptionally well. London, which had a turnover of Ecu 484 billion saw an 8% drop in business.
The main German exchanges experienced a near 22% drop in turnover to Ecu 272 billion while Paris held its level of business almost unchanged at Ecu 326 billion.

For example, an investment worth Dfl 100 on the Amsterdam Exchanges NV in 1985 would now be worth Dfl 196.
