Flow Traders expects to meet EU capital requirements set by Dutch central bank

Flow Traders NV said it expects to meet the capital requirements applicable to it in the European Capital Requirements Regulation, after the Dutch central bank said it would complete the formalities that will enable the company to comply with the rules.

Flow Traders said its dividend policy will remain unaffected.

The Dutch central bank, De Nederlandsche Bank NV, said in November 2017 that it would replace the national system it had used to assess capital requirements for proprietary traders, or companies trading on their own account, with Europe's Capital Requirements Regulation.

Flow Traders CFO Marcel Jongmans said the company believes the CRR requirements to be "disproportionately high ... compared to the inherent low risks of our business model. ... We strongly support more realistic and proportionate requirements."
