Panel 1: Capital markets in times of turbulence

The current geopolitical situation in the US, Asia, and Russia have consequences for EU economic development and EU capital markets. In this panel we will discuss the experiences and lessons for the EU and the US and how the EU should react to the rebalancing of powers. To rebound, how should we change the way we view the world? Should the strategic autonomy of the EU be reinforced and with what measures? What is the vision for the EU in the medium term? What are the lessons learnt for the financing of companies, including SMEs, in times of turbulence?

Panel 2: Capital market investors – where they come from and what we need from them

The Nordics have for a long time been presented as the “poster child” of the CMU with a large share of European IPOs and institutional as well as retail investors interested in equity and bond markets. With the retail investment strategy and the listing act now on the table, and the final chapters of CMU II being written, the question is - where do we go from here?

In this panel, representatives from different parts of capital markets will discuss if more could be done to attract investors to capital markets based inter alia on experiences in the Nordics.

Panel 3: Sustainable Finance – What remains be done with E and what to do with S and G

While lots remains to be done in the field of sustainable finance, we are approaching the end of this version of the Sustainable Finance Action Plan. In this panel we will take stock of where we are and what remains to be done with the E in ESG. We will discuss the steps that have been taken into the S and G territory and reflect on the work ahead of us at different areas and levels, as we harmonize the existing framework while at the same time adding new pieces.
