The Portuguese Securities Commission (CMVM) contributed to an opinion article in Jornal de Negócios on how saving links to capital markets, with participation from CMVM Secretary Celina Carrigy. The article argues that while the value of saving is widely understood, the relevance of connecting savings to capital markets is less obvious, and cites European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde’s November 2024 remark that “capital markets are the missing link” for Europeans to turn their high savings into greater wealth.
