Scientific Director at Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE & Professor of Finance at Goethe University Frankfurt
The year 2024 is already picking up in pace but I wish you all a year of growth, collaboration, and impactful research! 🚀 Let me share some thoughts with you on what lies ahead. 🇪🇺 Several important elections are just around the corner. For me, the European elections in June are of particular interest. They mark a pivotal moment and will certainly shape the future landscape of financial policy and regulation in the European Union. So, at the Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE, we will be discussing the potential impacts the results may have. 📈Positive signals by the Parliament to continue work on the Capital Markets Union after the elections are signs in the right direction. Its implementation is an essential step for Europe to prevent falling behind other global players and boost innovation and investments in Europe. 🌍On a global scale, sustainability remains a key topic. This summer, SAFE will host and co-organize the Sustainability Standards Conference, where practitioners and academics will discuss current standard-setting activities. Stay tuned for more details and join us: https://lnkd.in/ekH6Uv5A 🌱 What do you think will be the key issues for financial markets this year? Let me know 👇 #CapitalMarketsUnion #EU #regulation

💡 ❗ Yesterday marked a significant milestone as the Commission published its revised Market Definition Notice – a much-needed update since 1997. The revised Notice addresses the intricacies of our modern, digitalized economy, offering comprehensive guidance on assessing innovation-intensive markets, multi-sided platforms and ecosystems. However, the guidance extends beyond the tech realm, impacting all industries across the board. It serves as a fundamental tool for determining the boundaries of competition and market power, which play a key role in assessing potential competition concerns. Whether you're a tech leader or a traditional industry player, it is well worth exploring the implications of the revised Notice. Link to the Commission's press release in the comments ⬇

💡 How can we improve the impact of EU #research and #innovation funding? The call for more transformative R&I policies to deliver on Europe’s grand challenges, especially on the twin #green and #digital transitions, remains overwhelmingly present in recent policy documents. In this context, directionality or guiding R&I projects towards transformative change is a key feature. 📍 The recently published study "Directionality in R&I Policy" explores a promising framework for policymakers across the EU to assess how their R&I policies are contributing to the green and digital transitions. This includes: ✅ Macro-level analysis, which examines large datasets like the GBARD to understand broad spending trends. ✅ Micro-level analysis, which does a detailed examination of specific programs within a region. This combined approach allows for a more comprehensive understanding of how effectively R&I funding is aligned with strategic objectives and can support policymakers to maximise the impact of R&I funding. 👉 europa.eu/!cJBb8f

🚩 At our first strategy session in Frankfurt, experts including Armin von Falkenhayn, Friederike (Fritzi) Koehler-Geib, PhD and Livio Stracca joined to discuss the future of the Capital Markets Union. 🇪🇺 The CMU initiative, launched by the European Commission in 2015, has played a crucial role in improving the integration of European capital markets. In September 2020, a new CMU Action Plan was introduced, consisting of sixteen measures aimed at strengthening the importance of the CMU, especially for small and medium-sized businesses, and aligning it with the objectives of the European Green Deal. 🗣 Our discussion with the above mentioned experts focused on these key issues: ❓ How can we engage more private investors making a valuable contribution to transformation processes? ❓ What regulatory conditions will expand the reach of the European capital market and help provide financing solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises and the implementation of the European Green Deal? 👏 💐 Special thanks to Katja Schremmer for moderating and to Deutsche Börse and Caroline von Linsingen for generously hosting the session.
