About CPB
CPB Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis was founded in 1945. Its first director was Jan Tinbergen who won the Nobel Prize for economics in 1969.Although CPB's Dutch name (literally translated: Central Planning Office) may suggest it, the bureau does not plan the Dutch economy. This would of course be inappropriate in a market economy such as that of the Netherlands.
Organisation
