Thus, at AmCham EU we have outlined the below recommendations, which aim to establish the basic and future-proof framework that should be kept in mind to enhance the future payments market.

Revitalising EU securitisation
Mobilising private capital for long-term, productive investments is critical to advancing the EU’s green and digital transitions and realising the objectives of a Savings and Investments Union (SIU). However, the EU securitisation market has seen a significant decline since the global financial cri-sis and has since continued to lag behind comparable markets.
