Нидерландское торговое общество ( нидерл . Nederlandsche Handel-Maatschappij NV или NHM ) — голландская торговая и финансовая компания, основанная в 1824 году в Гааге королем Вильгельмом I для продвижения и развития торговли, судоходства и сельского хозяйства. В течение следующих 140 лет НХМ развил крупную международную сеть филиалов и все активнее занимался банковскими операциями. В 1964 году он объединился с Twentsche Bank и образовал Algemene Bank Nederland , предшественника ABN AMRO .

История

NHM была частной компанией, выпускавшей публично торгуемые акции. По словам короля, НГМ будет действовать для усиления экономической активности и поощрения развития национального богатства. Однако на практике все сводилось к расширению существующей торговли за счет сбора данных и поиска новых рынков, а также финансирования промышленности и судоходства. Его тесная связь с голландским правительством означала, что он играл важную роль в развитии торговли между Нидерландами и Голландской Ост-Индией . В его бывшей штаб-квартире в Де Базеле в Амстердаме сегодня находится Амстердамский архив .

The NHM is sometimes called the successor of the Dutch East India Company or VOC, as it was also a private company that issued shares and financed trade with the Dutch East Indies. The establishment of the NHM can be seen as an attempt to bring new impetus to trade with the Dutch East Indies after the depression of the years of French domination (1795–1814), and the final collapse of the VOC two decades earlier. With playful reference to the greatness of the VOC, the NHM was colloquially known as Kompenie Ketjil or the "little company".

The NHM financing of trade and shipping led to the development of a network of branches which increasingly engaged in financing and banking operations. The network extended throughout South East Asia and on the trade routes between the Netherlands and the Dutch East Indies and the NHM continued to extend its network into the 20th century. It lost a number of its branches when the Indonesian government nationalised them in 1960 to form a new locally owned bank, but by then had branches in many other parts of the world.

Buildings

The building at Vijzelstraat 32 in Amsterdam known today as "De Bazel"is named after its architect Karel de Bazel. It was originally built in 1919–1926 for the NHM and it is decorated with many details reminiscent of Indonesia, most notably the brickwork, which earned the building the nickname "spekkoek" It was later repurposed as the Amsterdam Archives.
