On March 19, 2025, the European Commission presented its ambitious strategy for a Savings and Investment Union (SIU), with the aim of giving EU citizens better access to capital markets and opening up new financing channels for companies. Insurers and pension funds in particular are set to benefit from expanded opportunities in the areas of risk capital, private equity, and infrastructure. At the same time, the strategy will bring about profound changes and new challenges for companies and institutions in the EU, which will need to be understood and addressed.
In their article “EU Savings and Investment Union: Whatever it takes?”, published in Versicherungsmonitor, Renate Prinz and Dr. Cornelius Hille provide an in-depth analysis of the planned changes and explain the specific implications of the new strategy for companies, the financial sector, and EU supervision. They offer valuable insights into the practical challenges and opportunities arising from the implementation of the strategy.
