The Savings and Investment Union (SIU) – Does Simplification Require More EU Power?

Can the Savings and Investments Union (SIU) deliver the scale, liquidity and efficiency that Europe needs in today’s economic and geopolitical environment? And how does the EU’s work on market integration and simplification interact with supervision, market structure, trading and asset management?

At a time when Europe is rushing to finance the green transition, strengthen competitiveness and manage geopolitical shocks, efficient capital markets have become a political priority. The Draghi report, new EU initiatives, and the discussion on strategic autonomy have placed the SIU at the centre of the reform agenda.

Welcome to join expert insights and discussion on the EU’s SIU and its significance for Europe’s capital markets.

Thorsten Beck, Professor of Financial Stability at the European University Institute, will open with a broad perspective on the institutional conditions and key trade-offs in the integration agenda. This will be followed by a panel discussion on what deeper integration means in practice for Europe’s capital markets.

The meeting is held within the framework of the SNS/SHoF Finance Panel, a collaboration between SNS and the Swedish House of Finance at the Stockholm School of Economics, Sweden’s national research centre in financial economics.

The discussion will be held in English.
