EU equity markets at a turning point to restore competitiveness and strengthen capital markets

Recent developments under the Market Integration and Supervision Package (MISP) signal an opportunity to address long-standing structural weaknesses in the functioning of equity markets and restore the EU's competitiveness. Data highlight a concerning trend: the EU continues to lose attractiveness for both new and existing listings. Today, less than 10% of global IPOs take place in the EU, while the number of listed companies has declined by approximately 25% since 2007. Over the same period, competing global markets such as the US have significantly expanded their leadership, with higher IPO activity and greater market depth. Listed companies play a vital role in Europe's economy. They support around 60 million jobs, representing over 30% of employment in the business sector, and contribute more than 50% of corporate tax revenues. This underscores the direct link between well-functioning and competitive public markets and the EU’s capacity to finance growth, innovation and its strategic priorities. Source: fese.eu |
