Towards the Great European Stock Exchange: The EU Shield Against Trump Tariffs
Jordi Martí Pidelaserra, Of Counsel at ALS, analyzes in Via Empresa the need to establish a Capital Markets Union as a mechanism to counterbalance American economic power and channel resources toward the major investments Europe needs.
Jordi Martí Pidelaserra, Of Counsel at ALS, contributed to an article published this weekend in Via Empresa analyzing the necessity of establishing a Capital Markets Union. This mechanism would enable the EU to counterbalance American economic power and direct resources toward major investments that Europe requires in infrastructure, artificial intelligence, energy transition, and competitiveness.
The Capital Markets Union Proposal
The piece examines the proposal for creating a Capital Markets Union (CMU) that would integrate Europe’s various stock markets. This initiative, launched in 2015, aims to redirect European savings toward long-term investments while preventing capital flight to the United States.
Jordi Martí’s Vision
Jordi Martí Pidelaserra, professor and Doctor in Economic and Business Sciences from the University of Barcelona, advocates strongly for a unified stock market. He contends that “this step should have been taken earlier” and that an integrated market would generate greater liquidity and fresh investment opportunities, particularly benefiting small and medium enterprises.
His thesis emphasizes that a consolidated system could overcome current fragmentation barriers, stimulate economic growth, and enhance Europe’s global competitiveness while transforming how financial resources are channeled and risks managed internationally.
