European Commission - Savings and Investment Union

Savings and Investment Union Strategy

The European Commission adopted in March 2025 its strategy for the implementation of a Savings and Investments Union (SIU). This aims to improve the way the EU financial system connects savings with productive investments.

Targeted consultation on integration of EU capital markets

As part of the implementation of the SIU strategy, the European Commission plans to publish legislative proposals in Q4 2025 to remove cross-border barriers to trading and post trading, distribution of investment funds and operations of asset managers. To help identify and address the barriers, including regulation, that hinder the full integration and efficiency of EU capital markets the European Commission published on 15 April 2025 a targeted consultation on integration of EU capital markets. An online questionnaire, for stakeholders to complete, will be open from 22 April to 10 June 2025.
