Kalin Anev Janse and Rolf Strauch at ESM-SAFE webinar on “Relaunching the EU’S Capital Markets Union”

The Leibniz Institute for Financial Research – Sustainable Architecture for Finance in Europe (SAFE) – and the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) will hold a high-level webinar on relaunching the EU’s capital markets union.

The capital markets union (CMU) is a plan to create a single market for capital. Initiated in 2015 but not completed yet, with the CMU, investments and savings shall flow across the EU so that it can benefit consumers, investors and companies. A new action plan to complete CMU is essential to support the economic recovery after the pandemic and to finance the green and digital transitions of the economies.

During the webinar, experts will look at the progress of CMU and discuss obstacles to a smooth implementation in light of the changing economic and policy environment, including Covid-19.
