Yesterday, the European Commission released its proposal to adjust the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), which addresses several persistent challenges and represents an important step towards a more coherent, effective and user-friendly EU sustainable finance framework.
Today, the European Commission unveiled its package on supplementary pensions, focusing on closing the pensions gap and enhancing retirement adequacy for Europe’s citizens. This initiative is a key component of the Savings and Investments Union, reflecting the European Commission's firm commitment to helping individuals build financial security for their retirement.
As we gather at the close of this Forum, one thing is clear: the conversations we have had over these two days are not just about today’s challenges—they are about shaping the future of European capital markets.
It has been a privilege to share these two days with such an engaged and insightful group. Thank you for your active participation and the energy you brought to every discussion.
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen
It is a great pleasure, and a true privilege, to welcome you to the 31st edition of the EFAMA Investment Management Forum, my first as President.
