Financing innovative companies is crucial for the EU’s prosperity in the 21st century. The EU can still do better to allow companies to find funding, even though the pool of household savings in Europe is much larger than in the US. The EU will act to address this mismatch. The EU is kicking off the Savings and Investments Union, including actions to: ➡ Create more opportunities for citizens looking to invest ➡ Empower you to take better decisions through a financial literacy strategy ➡ Break down barriers to an integrated European financial market ➡ Facilitate investments in equity Whether saving tens or thousands of euros, citizens deserve a wide choice, clear information and good investment opportunities. A win-win for savers and the European economy. #EuropeanUnion #InvestmentUnion
