European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has urged the creation of a single, large, and deeply liquid capital market across Europe, warning that current fragmentation is holding back the bloc’s economic potential.
Speaking on the need for a Capital Markets Union, von der Leyen said the goal is to involve all 27 EU members — but indicated readiness to move forward with a smaller group of countries if broader consensus proves too slow.
The remarks underscore growing EU urgency to unlock private investment and strengthen financial sovereignty.
