The geoeconomic landscape: How can Europe proceed towards a viable capital markets union?
OMFIF is convening an expert panel to discuss topical issues relating to capital markets union in Europe and the outlook for plans to facilitate financing across European institutions. Participants consider the implications for issuance of sterling and euro-denominated bonds across European capital markets, financing public goods through European institutions and the effects of greater capital market integration on growth and investment.
The seminar examines legal and regulatory steps needed to promote greater integration in a joint European Union-UK framework, as well as the importance of capital market integration for funding joint defence efforts in Europe.
Proceedings are off the record to encourage open dialogue. The seminar is in person in London, with a limited number of places available.
This session is part of a programme featuring speakers from across the public and private sectors, focusing on the geoeconomic landscape and the rapprochement between the UK, Germany and the EU. It culminates in a reception at the German Embassy to mark the publication of Can Europe Survive? The Story of a Continent in a Fractured World by David Marsh, chairman of OMFIF. Marsh will be joined by Joachim Nagel, president of Deutsche Bundesbank, to discuss the findings of his book.
