Today the Platform on Sustainable Finance, an advisory body to the Commission, published its report on “A Compendium of Market Practices”. The report shows the first comprehensive evidence that the EU Taxonomy and the wider sustainable finance framework are being used by the market and have already had a positive impact on the ground. After six years since the adoption of the 2018 Action Plan, the report showcases concrete examples demonstrating the benefits stemming from the uptake of the sustainable finance toolkit by the market as an effective tool to navigate the transition to net zero. The Platform on Sustainable Finance will present the report during a webinar on Tuesday 6th February, 13:00 – 14:20.

DG FISMA is launching a call for tender for a comprehensive study, to be completed within one year, to identify barriers to/ways in which to support the scaling up and consolidation of investment funds, stock exchanges and post-trading infrastructure – with the aim of enhancing the knowledge base, developing the necessary scale, creating deeper pools of liquidity and helping to lower the cost of financing for high-growth companies. The mandate for this study was set out in the recent Communication “Building the future with nature: Boosting Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing in the EU” that highlighted the challenges companies face in their access to finance. By identifying the underlying issues and barriers, the study will aid future policy work in the area. The call will be divided into two separate lots. One will focus on scaling up investment funds, such as venture capital and private equity funds. The other will focus on barriers to consolidation of trade and post-trade market infrastructure. Anyone interested is invited to submit their proposal(s) for either a single lot or both, depending on their expertise and interest.
