Fabian Zuleeg, EPC Chief Executive and Chief Economist, chaired this Policy Briefing in conversation with Jonathan Hill, European Commissioner for Financial Stability, Financial Services & Capital Markets Union, to discuss the Commission’s action plan, adopted on 30 September, which sets out 20 key measures to achieve a true single market for capital in Europe. Hill outlined the aims and implications of the evidence-based approach to the action plan, how it has been perceived by policy makers and the capital markets and what contribution he expects it will make to a healthy and stable European economy, before answering questions from the audience.
The Sustainable Prosperity for Europe (SPfE) Programme explores the foundations and drivers for achieving a sustainable, resilient and competitive European economy.
Prospering within the planetary boundaries requires rethinking our economic model, including our production and consumption patterns, as well as our energy, mobility and food systems. It requires addressing the climate emergency and environmental degradation, as well as becoming smarter with the resources we have. The transition to the world we want must bring both businesses and people along, if it is to succeed.
The Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Agenda provide the direction for travel globally and in Europe, and the SPfE Programme engages in a debate on the drivers and the means for achieving our goals. The Programme focuses on areas where working together across the EU can bring significant benefits to the member states, citizens and businesses and can ensure sustainable prosperity within the limits of this planet.
