On September 9, 10 & 11, Eurofi held its annual Financial Forum in Luxembourg, in association with the forthcoming Luxembourg EU Council Presidency. The event focused on the integration challenges that the EU and the Eurozone face, bringing together industry representatives, regulators and political decision makers.
Guillaume Prache, Managing Director of BETTER FINANCE, participated in the event as a speaker and joined other high-level speakers in the “Balancing debt and equity financing” panel session to discuss the key priorities towards diversifying the financing of EU companies and providing them with appropriate financing tools at different stages of their development as well as the opportunity to better balance debt and equity financing.
He also contributed to the Eurofi newsletter with an article on how pension products should be made a priority within the Capital Markets Union initiative launched by the European Commission in late 2014. With Commissioner Lord Hill himself recognising that “savers and individual investors must be placed at the heart of the CMU initiative”, Guillaume Prache cannot stress enough that the existing short-term priorities for the CMU initiative must be extended to “retail” savings and investments.
