Despite recent progress, EU  financial markets remain fragmented, relatively small and less competitive. This represents a missed opportunity to realise economies of scale and improve efficiency. To address these shortcomings, the European Union is advancing the Savings and Investment Union by implementing the new Market Integration Package. However, as the EU intensifies its efforts, the central question is whether the new market integration package will deliver tangible benefits for Europe’s retail investors and savers.

For a thorough examination of this issue, BETTER FINANCE is hosting an international conference: Integrating Europe’s Capital Markets: Delivering for Retail Investors.

Please note: Delphine de Chaisemartin, Deputy CEO of the AFG, will speak at Panel 2: “Listed or Private? Rebalancing Europe’s Capital Markets” (2:50 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.).
