A little while ago, on October 3, the European Commission launched a consultation inviting stakeholders to share their views on Crowdfunding. Being an issue of growing importance not only for the EU economy as a whole but especially for retail investors and other financial services users, EuroFinUse welcomes this initiative and presented its response.
EuroFinUse expects the European Commission to seek the right balance between financial services users protection and the promotion of a sustainable European Crowdfunding business.
On October 2013, EuroFinUse organized a Conference where the potential benefits that Crowdfunding may provide to financial services users to escape financial repression and circumvent the negative impact that the current European monetary policies and prudency rules have on the returns delivered by the financial products most commonly available at retail level were discussed.
