The Capital Markets Union (CMU) and Revised MiFID/AIFMD/UCITS Frameworks
- Χρηματοοικ. Ασφαλιστικά Τραπεζικά
ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ
The ongoing Capital Markets Union initiatives seek to open up new sources of funding for businesses, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), reduce the cost of raising capital, increase options for savers across the EU, facilitate cross-border investing and attract more foreign investment into the EU and support long-term investment projects, particularly for the green and the digital transitions.
The course will cover the key characteristics of the CMU and more recent focus on developing non-bank intermediary financing solutions, cultivating EU institutional investors’ and pension funds’ appetite for domestic equity products, harmonizing EU insolvency rules, creation of a single access point for investors, providing public financial and sustainability-related information about EU companies and investment products (the European Single Access Point, and a shift to financing of high-growth sectors via equity rather than debt.
The CMU was also the basis for some significant revisions to MiFID, IDD, UCITs, and AIMFD, with a strong emphasis on improving investor protection.
