Discussion on the Savings and Investment Union in the EU

March 30, 2025

The European Commission and the European Parliament are set to discuss the new Savings and Investment Union (SIU) initiative aimed at boosting investments and reducing dependency of businesses on loans. The SIU encourages citizens to invest their savings in capital market products, warning that this comes with greater risk. The initiative seeks to increase financial opportunities and fund small businesses. This is necessary as investment needs in the EU are expected to rise significantly by 2030.
