Access to finance for SMEs
How can we make it easier and more attractive for companies to list in the EU?
The Commission has launched two consultations (public/targeted) to seek stakeholders’ views on whether listing on EU public markets needs to be made more attractive for companies – especially SMEs – and if so, how this can be achieved. What improvements to the current listing rules could be made to reduce costs and increase flexibility for companies wishing to list in the EU? Take part in our consultations and have your say!
