Capital Markets Union
The conference – ‘Capital Markets Union: investing for a stronger, prosperous and sustainable European Union’ – will take place on Wednesday 1 June in Brussels. The main focus of the event will be the role of the Capital Markets Union (CMU) in supporting a stronger European Union and a more green, digital, inclusive and prosperous economy. At a moment when several CMU legislative proposals are on the co-legislators’ table, the high-level conference will also be an opportunity to take stock of what has already been achieved and to discuss the next deliverables.
