Jeroen Dijsselbloem
Jeroen René Victor Anton Dijsselbloem, born 29 March 1966 in Eindhoven, Netherlands, is a Dutch politician of the Labour Party. He is the Minister of Finance in the Cabinet Rutte II since 5 November 2012, the president of the Eurogroup since 21 January 2013, and president of the Board of Governors of the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) since 11 February 2013.
Dijsselbloem studied agricultural economics at Wageningen University. He then served as member of the municipal council of Wageningen (1994–1997) and as member of the House of Representatives of the Netherlands (2000–2002; 2002–2012). In 2007, he led a parliamentary inquiry on education reform.
In March 2013, Dijsselbloem took a lead in the negotiation, conclusion and subsequent public promotion of the "Cyprus bail-in". He attracted criticism for the precedent of taking depositors' balances as part of bank rescues but said "I’m pretty confident that the markets will see this as a sensible, very concentrated and direct approach instead of a more general approach…It will force all financial institutions, as well as investors, to think about the risks they are taking on because they will now have to realise that it may also hurt them.
