FESE-Equity: the key to unlocking a sustainable economic recovery

July 2, 2020--The Covid-19 pandemic has had tremendous effects on our societies. The loss of lives and the health crisis in general has been devastating.
Secondary to this, as societies closed down to limit the spread of the disease, economic activity ground to a halt. As a result, we may be facing the most severe economic crisis since the Great Depression. This crisis also creates an opportunity to revisit and improve economic policy and create a better and greener future for Europe.

RECOMMENDED MEASURES
A revamped CMU which balances between private and public markets is a must.
The proposed fund for EU IPOs should be pan- European and support both IPOs and secondary issuances, while contributing to relaunching IPOs.
To re-equitise the economy, a concrete proposal for the fund through public/private partnerships should be drafted.
The various stimulus packages should include specific bridge financing for viable SMEs/growth companies that were planning IPOs when the Covid crisis hit.

How index investing can drive sustainable finance transition

July 1, 2020-A well-informed decarbonisation trajectory calls for a quantitative investment approach via indices.
The Covid-19 crisis is a stark reminder of the vulnerability of human societies and our dependence on the balance of natural systems. It is true for health issues but also for biodiversity and climate issues.
