Capital Markets Union (CMU): A plan to finance EU growth
“The coronavirus crisis has injected real urgency into our work to create a Capital Markets Union. The strength of our economic recovery will depend crucially on how well our capital markets function and whether people and businesses can access the investment opportunities and market financing they need. We need to generate massive investments to make the EU economy more sustainable, digital, inclusive and resilient. Today's Action Plan aims to tackle head-on some of the remaining barriers to a single market for capital.”
Valdis Dombrovskis, Executive Vice-President for an Economy that works for People (European Commission - Sept 24, 2020)
A strong and complete Capital Markets Union (CMU) is needed now more than ever, in order to support the economic recovery following the COVID-19 crisis and finance the green and digital transitions. Against this backdrop, the European Commission adopted on Sept 24, 2020 a new CMU Action Plan, with 16 legislative and non-legislative measures.
The objective of this course is to provide insight on :
- purpose, objectives, and roadmap of the new CMU;
- how CMU can contribute to deliver on post-coronavirus recovery;
- an inclusive and resilient economy that works for all;
- as well as the transition towards a digital and sustainable economy.
