Objectives of the roundtable
The objective of this exchange of views is to assess the next Commission to improve the competitiveness of EU economies, further integrate the EU area banking sector and develop capital markets in Europe.
Points for discussion
- The economic gap between the European Union and its main global competitors, notably the United States, has widened since 2008 in terms of innovation, productivity and growth. Can key EU policy measures such as NGEU, the open strategic autonomy agenda and the review of SGP allow the EU to catch up? What are the conditions for a successful implementation of these measures and what more may be needed?
- The European banking sector has shown remarkable resilience during the banking turmoil earlier this year. However, it remains fragmented along national lines. How to accelerate progress in the integration of the euro area banking sector?
- Does the CMU agenda set out the main priorities for developing capital markets in Europe, and equity financing in particular? Is it ambitious enough? What should be the priorities for the future stages of the CMU?
