Quick Summary

The Netherlands Trading Society (Nederlandsche Handel-Maatschappij; NHM) was established in 1824 by royal decree to facilitate trade between the Netherlands and the Dutch East Indies. This organization was a precursor to ABN AMRO Holding NV, a major Dutch bank. The NHM's origins are rooted in the Dutch Golden Age, a period of significant economic and cultural growth from 1609 to 1713, during which the Netherlands was a dominant force in global trade and shipping. While the Dutch East India Company was prominent in long-distance trade, the NHM's focus was on the direct trade relationship between the Netherlands and its East Indies colonies.12
