SUMMARY:EU Recovery & CMU: two sides of the same coin?
DESCRIPTION:Completing the CMU has become even more urgent to speed up the EU’s recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, the upcoming Capital Markets Union Action Plan and actions within the plan will be strongly inspired by what role can truly integrated EU capital markets play in post-COVID recovery.\nThe aims of the CMU, namely, helping companies to raise funds they need to support recovery and growth, making the EU a good place to invest long-term, and creating an integrated single market for capital that supports the EU’s digital and green transformations, go hand-in-hand with the EU Recovery package that aims to rebuild after COVID-19 and support investment in sustainability and digital transition.\nThis webinar will look at opportunities various EU funding mechanisms could offer in order to support building expertise around asset classes and fund structures in the EU. It will also look at best ways to address obstacles to the CMU, such as fragmentation and lack of cross border liquidity, through the Recovery Package.\nMany businesses affected by COVID-19 will require substantial equity funding as bank lending alone will not provide the financing needed for a strong rebound of the economy. Some of proposed funding mechanism under the EU Recovery Package, such as InvestEU and Solvency Support Mechanism offer a great opportunity.\nThe Solvency Support Instrument supporting the equity of viable companies would support the recovery, leveraging private capital, while InvestEU will provide a specific window for SME financing.\nOne of the main aims of the InvestEU is to contribute to integration of the CMU, including through solutions that address the fragmentation and that diversify sources of financing for EU companies. The InvestEU also suggests maximising firepower of public/private fund vehicles, such as the SME IPO Fund, as well as increased support for financial intermediaries that are key to help small companies’ access financing and realise their full potential.\nHowever, on their own, the plans under the Recovery Package will not be able to sustain a longer-term economic recovery. Hence, the upcoming CMU Agenda must work towards ensuring that companies can access stable and long-term financing. Measures within the CMU Action Plan are expected to support more long-term equity investments and cross-border investments.\nThis webinar will explore the opportunities under the EU Recovery Package and their alignment with the EU capital markets agenda. Special focus will be given to questions around (i) safe assets; (ii) impact on equity culture and (iii) stimulating asset management. It will also touch upon other issues relating to the CMU such as state aid constraints, tax and treatment of debt.\n
