Competitiveness
To remain competitive and at the forefront of innovation, Europe must be open to cross-border flows of knowledge, ideas, capital and investment. The benefit in doing so ultimately accrues to European citizens and businesses.

Our policy work consistently advocates for a dynamic regulatory environment, which enables European financial markets to remain globally competitive.
