COVID-19 virus: continuity assumption still applies This annual report is published at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken by the Dutch government are still having a major impact on the activities of the RAI. In response to these developments, the RAI has maximised its focus on savings, postponing non-essential investments and focusing on liquidity.
