As part of the post-Covid-19 recovery strategy, the European Commission is today adopting a capital markets recovery package. The aim of the package is to make it easier for companies affected by the economic shock of the pandemic to raise equity capital on public markets. The package proposes targeted changes to capital market rules to ensure that capital markets can support the recovery by facilitating investments in the economy, allowing for the rapid re-capitalization of businesses, and increasing banks’ capacity to finance the recovery. Specifically, the proposal contains targeted amendments to MiFID II, the Prospectus regulation and the Securitisation Framework to help the recovery from the Covid-19 crisis with the support of financial markets.
