EU accelerates Capital Markets Union for green and digital investments
The EU plans to push forward the Capital Markets Union to promote investment in green and digital companies. Heads of state and government have decided to reduce bureaucratic hurdles in order to develop cross-border investment and savings products. A report by Enrico Letta shows that 300 billion euros flow from small investors abroad every year, mainly to the USA.
The aim of the Capital Markets Union is to offer companies more financing options. By mobilizing capital in Europe, more money should be available for the green and digital transformation. The EU hopes that more small investors will invest in European companies in order to strengthen domestic financial markets.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz emphasizes the importance of an integrated European capital market. He sees the EU's underdeveloped capital market as a competitive disadvantage compared to other countries. Scholz supports progress in the harmonization of capital market rules and more efficient supervision of financial markets in the EU.
Europe aims to attract private money to compete globally. Discussions about publicly financed projects could become unnecessary if the capital market develops sufficiently to finance such investments itself. The EU plans to rethink state aid rules and allocate more public money to projects at EU level.
