APRIL 1997

Judging from the index figures one might jump to the conclusion that nothing special happened on AEX Effectenbeurs. After all, the AEX-index rose only half a percent (to 740.99) over the month as a whole, but this development, hardly spectacular in itself, hides enormous price movements which took place as the month progressed. This applied as much to the exchange as a whole as to many individual securities.

In March, turnover on the exchange fell to Dfl. 168bn, a drop of 20.2% in comparison to February. This fall was caused by the 28.4% drop in turnover in bonds, down to Dfl. 85bn. Turnover in shares fell 9.5% to Dfl. 83bn, largely due to 15% less turnover in internationals and 34% less turnover in investment companies.

The Dutch House of Representatives has adopted a private member's bill introducing call-in powers for the Dutch competition authority ACM, enabling review of below-threshold transactions while simultaneously raising mandatory notification thresholds. This reform shifts Dutch merger control from a purely threshold-based system toward a discretionary, risk-based regime that could significantly impact dealmakers pursuing roll-up strategies, buy-and-build models, or acquisitions in concentrated markets.
