What is the Savings and Investments Union?
Discover the primary objectives of the Savings and Investments Union and how it will reshape Europe’s financial landscape.
Europeans save around €1.4 trillion each year in low-interest rate bank deposits, while European businesses, especially start-ups and small enterprises, struggle to secure investment funding for their projects. The need for a strategic investment approach is evident.
To address this, the Savings and Investments Union aims to streamline investment processes and expand opportunities, driving EU economic growth and boosting household wealth.
This initiative will empower a variety of stakeholders, including investment firms and individual citizens, to participate in investments across the EU, facilitating access to capital for critical sectors such as green and digital transitions.
The Savings and Investments Union also focuses on equipping people with the knowledge and skills they need so that, if they decide to invest, they can make informed decisions.
Ultimately, the objectives of the Savings and Investments Union are to amplify investment choices, support EU enterprises, and strengthen the regional economy, leading to improved living standards for all Europeans.
