On 3 February 2025, the European Commission launched a call for evidence to collect input on its overall approach to the Savings and Investments Union (SIU).
The call for evidence will gather views, facts and evidence on progress made on the Capital Markets Union and will also identify significant challenges that the SIU should address.
Maria Luís Albuquerque, Commissioner for Financial Services and the Savings and Investments Union said:
“The scale of investment required to ensure EU competitiveness while addressing the clean and digital transitions is massive. To succeed, we need a well-functioning, efficient, deepened integrated capital market and banking sector that brings together savers, institutional investors and companies. My vision is simple: I want European savers to earn a fair return on their savings. And I want European businesses and innovators to have access to the financing they need to drive our economy forward. I want everyone to be able to find the right counterpart, and the right opportunity under the Savings and Investments Union. I warmly invite all stakeholders to help steer it in the right direction.“
The call for evidence will close on 3 March 2025.
A Commission communication on the SIU is expected in Q1 2025.
