Recital 1

Regulation (EU) 2024/2809 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2024 amending Regulations (EU) 2017/1129, (EU) No 596/2014 and (EU) No 600/2014 to make public capital markets in the Union more attractive for companies and to facilitate access to capital for small and medium-sized enterprises (Text with EEA relevance) · European Union

(1) The capital markets union (CMU) presented in the communication of the Commission of 30 September 2015 on an Action Plan on Building a Capital Markets Union aims to develop Union capital markets and decrease their fragmentation along national borders, thereby enabling companies to access funding sources other than bank lending and to adapt their financing structure when maturing and growing in size. More diversified financing in the form of debt and equity will decrease risks for individual companies and the overall economy, as well as help Union companies, including small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs), realise their growth potential. It is acknowledged that the CMU needs to be realised more quickly and that investment needs to reach the levels made necessary by the Union’s policy priorities related to environmental protection, digitalisation and strategic autonomy. Moving forward in the area of listing is a necessary step for the CMU, especially in the short term, but as a stand-alone measure it cannot be sufficient.
