WEBINAR: A Regulatory Perspective on the Capital Markets Union (CMU)

 

In September 2020, the European Commission published its action plan for a Capital Markets Union (CMU). This plan contains 16 recommendations intended to make finance more accessible to European businesses, ensure the EU is a safer place to invest and integrate national capital markets into a single EU market. In his address to the IIEA, Steven Maijoor will provide a regulatory and supervisory perspective on the CMU and its implications for EU investors, consumers, and businesses.
