Most of the Dutch tax agency and pension calculations run on COBOL as well, and will be for the foreseeable future. Most bank still run it as well. Rabobank switched in 2018 to a hybrid setup with IBM Z (whatever that is) but still uses a lot of COBOL.
On the one hand I'm glad they're using something that works, on the other hand the immense technical debt now stands in the way of tax reform.
