Dutch parties back review of Nederlandse Loterij ownership options
Dutch State Secretary for Finance Eelco Eerenberg plans to send the House of Representatives an approach plan in early December 2026 for further examination of Nederlandse Loterij’s ownership. VVD, CDA, PVV and JA21 expressed support for examining privatisation, while the CDA said payments to sport and charities should be protected.
The review could lead to a decision on selling all or part of the state-owned lottery, subject to public-interest safeguards.
