"With today's proposal for a Savings and Investment Union we are achieving a double win,” says Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. “Households will have more and safer opportunities to invest in capital markets and increase their wealth. At the same time, businesses will have easier access to capital to innovate, grow and create good jobs in Europe.”
The plan that has been unveiled concerns the European Savings and Investments Union (SIU), an initiative designed to link up citizens’ savings with European companies looking for funding.
