Retail Investing Surge Cushions Economic Downturn and Calls for Adequate Reforms
June 1, 2022--Over the last two years, health-related restrictions and economic shutdowns had unforeseen effects on European capital markets. An increase in disposable income available for EU households to invest, and at least four and a half million[1] previously inactive EU savers now investing in the real economy and trading in financial instruments, has created a new generation of "retail" investors in the EU.
What's more, is that these developments came on the back of increased investor activism (and interest in shareholder engagement) and in the wake of disruptive FinTech business models that make investing a much more attractive and accessible proposition for EU households, bringing them closer to capital markets.

May 31, 2022--Even though inflation in the euro area is lower than in the US, three issues make it a lot more difficult for the ECB to control inflation and preserve financial stability. Once again, the limits of EMU architecture are visible and will require a rethink.
In its latest forecast published on 16 May, the European Commission expects inflation in the euro area to be 6.1% and growth 2.7% in 2022.
The last forecasts published by the ECB on the 10 March, predicted inflation and growth at 5.1% and 3.7% respectively. These are big revisions for such a short time span and they of course reflect the implications of the war in Ukraine.
