EIB Group Forum: Strengthening Europe’s investment environment

The discussion focused on how Europe can strengthen its global leadership while advancing reforms at home, align national strategies with shared EU priorities, and mobilise private capital through EU financial instruments.

Persson highlighted the importance of creating the right conditions for investment and innovation. "This requires continued efforts to reduce regulatory burdens through additional omnibus simplification packages, a stronger Single Market, and targeted measures to lower energy prices", he said. He also stressed that while regulation is necessary, a better balance is needed, and that delivering results is a shared responsibility between the European Commission, Member States and the European Parliament.
