With the recent separation of Fortis, the stereotypes of ‘stupid’ Belgians and ‘greedy’ Dutchmen have once again been confirmed. When Fortis took over ABN AMRO, this was much against the likes of the Dutch and until recently it was unclear why Fortis was forced to pay to own the name ‘ABN AMRO’. Now, after the separation, it is obvious why the Dutch were so keen on this: the name would be useful when Fortis Belgium and Fortis Netherlands were separated (again). Once again the Dutch managed to put all the profits into their own pockets while the Belgians are cheated and left behind with huge debts and other (unsolvable) problems.
