    Britain’s departure from the EU poses challenges for European capital markets with far-reaching implications. Perhaps the most important is the call for greater integration and the need to create a single unified capital market. The CMU project has been focused on the development of capital markets as alternatives to banking, and less on actions that will remove cross-border obstacles (e.g. harmonisation of insolvency laws, taxation and company laws). However, it is highly questionable whether this will create a EU27 alternative to the UK market. Should the EU aim to create its own single capital market? If so, how could it build one?

  • 09:15  - 10:30
    The supervision and crisis management framework for Euro area banks has been strengthened with the introduction of the Banking Union. Nonetheless, many important challenges remain, including the substantial amounts of non-performing loans on bank balances, the backstop for the resolution fund, liquidity in resolution, circumvention of the resolution mechanism, creation of a European deposit insurance scheme, etc. How should these challenges be addressed? Is there sufficient political support for these measures? If not, how can the support be broadened?

    Since the advent of the new US administration policy priorities seem to have diverged. The European side continues to emphasise the importance of cooperation and a rules-based global system. Tensions have emerged as the two sides seem far apart in terms of the need to combat climate change or to defend fundamental rights across the globe. Moreover, Europe perceives China much less as a geopolitical competitor, and more as an important market. But the one area where the US and the EU seem in direct conflict is trade. A truce has been established, but will it last? Will it be possible to find compromises in other areas as well, to re-establish the long-standing transatlantic partnership?
