Nationalisation following property-finance losses
Losses and impairments associated with SNS Property Finance weakened SNS Reaal to the point that the Dutch government nationalised SNS Reaal and SNS Bank on 1 February 2013. The intervention was justified by financial-system stability concerns and resulted in the expropriation of securities and assets. Junior bondholders were not bailed out.
