Keynote address: How EU bonds are assisting in the transformation of Europe
Since its launch in 2021, the EU bond issuance programme has provided the impetus for the transformation of Europe’s economy and created a new opportunity for global investors.
OMFIF, in partnership with the European Commission, hosted a special event in Singapore for investors to better understand how EU bonds are developing into a global benchmark and safe asset in the capital markets. This was an opportunity for investors in the region to hear directly from the officials responsible for the European Union budget and its funding and disbursement programme.Â
It brought together high-level EU representatives – led by Johannes Hahn, European Commissioner for budget and administration – with senior representatives from central banks, sovereign funds, public pension funds, international financial institutions and influential business leaders in Asia and beyond.
This event was the second part of the European Commission’s global investor outreach, following our meeting in May in Dubai.
