economic growth and industry competitiveness?
Points of discussion
- While previous sessions have addressed the technical aspects of regulatory complexity and simplification efforts, this session will take a more strategic view. It will focus on how the current financial regulatory and supervisory framework impacts the EU’s ability to support growth, innovation, and the global competitiveness of its financial sector.
- We will not revisit the granular details of disclosure or reporting requirements but rather aim to explore the broader economic and institutional consequences of the EU’s current approach.The discussion will assess how regulatory fragmentation, national constraints, and prudential conservatism may limit cross-border activity and long-term investment. It will also examine how simplification, proportionality, and digital innovation can help rebalance the system without weakening stability.
- Finally, the session will explore forward-looking policy priorities, such as:
– Removing obstacles to financial integration and cross-border consolidation
– Encouraging the emergence of pan-European financial champions
– Updating the mandates of EU and national supervisors to reflect competitiveness goals
– Drawing lessons from third-country practices (e.g. UK, US)- And mobilising long-term savings—both institutional and retail—to better serve the EU’s economic and strategic objectives. - The aim of this session is to have a high-level, policy-oriented discussion on how to make EU financial services a real driver of growth and competitiveness, while preserving stability and integrity.
