The European Commission has launched a call for evidence on its overall approach to the savings and investments union (SIU), seeking stakeholder input on progress to date and the key challenges the initiative should address.

The SIU is framed as building on the Capital Markets Union and the banking union, covering capital markets, the banking sector and retail investment, with objectives that include increasing returns on EU citizens’ savings on a risk-appropriate basis and widening financing opportunities for businesses.
Contributions are invited via the Commission’s Have your Say portal and the call will remain open for four weeks. Feedback will feed into a Commission Communication on the SIU, expected in the first quarter of 2025.
