Rabobank’s Success in Uncertain Times: An Executive Interview with Frans van Bijsterveld

The end of 2008 ushered in a severe and sweeping economic change throughout the global economy. In an Executive Interview conducted during IAMA’s 2009 World Forum and Symposium in Budapest, Hungary, Frans van Bijsterveld, Global Head of Food & Agribusiness Research at Rabobank explains why Robobank is one of the few financial institutions that has not been heavily affected. Rabobank continues to remain successful in these uncertain times because of it’s careful selection of customers and sole focus on Food and Agribusiness (F&A) outside of the Netherlands, as F&A is typically far more resilient than other sectors.
