Capital Markets Union (CMU)

The Capital Markets Union (CMU) is an initiative by the European Union to connect and strengthen financial markets across member countries. Its goal is to make it easier for companies and governments to raise funds through a variety of financial products, like bonds and stocks, across borders. By doing so, the CMU aims to boost economic growth, create jobs, and improve investment opportunities within Europe. It helps ensure a more integrated, efficient, and resilient financial system, reducing reliance on traditional bank funding and spreading risks more evenly across the region.
