Dutch government explores future options for Nederlandse Loterij
Dutch State Secretary for Finance Eelco Eerenberg plans a further review of options for Nederlandse Loterij, according to a letter to parliament. The government has not set a timetable, and Finance Minister Eelco Heinen said coalition-agreement measures take priority. Nederlandse Loterij chief executive Arjan Blok welcomed the review and reiterated the company’s support for privatisation.
The review could affect the state-owned lottery operator’s ownership, while its timing remains unclear.
