Text

AI: What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source
Parliament adopted a resolution on financing investments and reforms to boost EU competitiveness and create a Capital Markets Union, responding to the Draghi report.
The text calls for accelerating the Capital Markets Union agenda, improving access to venture capital and equity financing, and harmonising regulatory frameworks to facilitate cross-border investment.
It also urges channelling household savings into productive investments, possibly through an EU investment savings account, and stresses the need for public investment in high-risk areas like defence and decarbonisation.
Parliament asks the Commission to assess features of a common safe asset and proposes a European Economic Intelligence Unit to connect industrial needs with financial tools.
