SUMMARY:From Retirement Savings to Investment and Growth | European Retirement Week 2026
DESCRIPTION:Europe holds vast private savings\, yet too little is channelled into long-term productive investment. As the Savings and Investment Union (SIU) takes shape\, pensions and retail savings sit at the centre of the debate: how can Europe better connect household capital to long-term growth while improving retirement outcomes for citizens? \nThis issue will be at the centre of the upcoming joint BETTER FINANCE and FESE conference during European Retirement Week 2026: \nFrom Retirement Savings to Investment and Growth\nDate: 26 November 2026 | Time: 15:30 – 17:30 CET | Location: Brussels \nThis conference is being organised as part of the European Retirement Week 2026.
