Press Release: Capital Markets Union: more investment across the EU and more funds for SMEs

The European Parliament's economic and monetary commitee approved a resolution on 16 June 2015, in which they urged the Capital Markets Union (CMU) to be planned so it can boost the efficient allocation of savings to fund businesses, protect cross-border investors and create a new channel to finance the real economy.

The committee wants CMU building blocks such as diverse investment choices, risk mitigation and clear investment information across the European Union to be in place by 2018 to complement bank financing.
