The role of capital markets for transition

During the meeting on 6 May 2021, the HLG discussed the case of capital markets at large, and how to optimize their use for transition investment projects. It agreed that transition finance should be considered as a central element of the EU Sustainable Finance policy and proposed a series of reforms (new instruments, new governance) so as to better match the needs of transforming industry sectors with those of the financiers. It reiterated the importance of creating a well-developed and fully integrated Capital Markets Union at the service of the sustainability transition.
