BETTER FINANCE shares its first thoughts on the long-waited Green Paper on Building a Capital Markets Union (CMU), published by the European Commission last week.

We welcome the initiative and fully agree that “capital markets need to play a larger role in channeling financing to the economy” but our concern lies with the lack of attention paid to individual (“retail”) investors. 

We believe that a successful “Capital Markets Union” initiative must involve and attract individual investors.
