LONDON--Royal Dutch Shell PLC's chief executive called on European governments to keep a steady hand on the economy in the uncertain aftermath of the U.K's referendum to leave the European Union.

Speaking at a conference in London, Ben Van Beurden emphasised the benefits of a single market and free movement of people.

"I hope that the future relationship between the U.K. and the rest of Europe will continue to provide conditions for economic growth," he said.
