Creating the Capital Markets Union would mean more investment for innovation, start-ups and SMEs, facilitating cross-border investment, supporting growth and job creation.

Can the CEE region, suffering from even stronger dependence on bank lending and lack of proper stock exchange instruments, be the leader?
