A #CapitalMarketsUnion mobilises the EU's €33t private capital at scale, channeling savings from pension funds, insurers, sovereign wealth funds, and households into #Ukrainian infrastructure bonds, equity stakes, or guaranteed securities. Upfront reform costs are small relative to recurring gains.
Basically, without a Capital Markets Union, financing Ukraine would depend on fiscal transfers and guarantees from member states, all of whom are one election away from European retrenchment or outright veto.
The hard truth is that we cannot afford to integrate Ukraine because we have no mechanisms to mobilise capital at the scale its reconstruction demands, already minimally priced at a €400–500 billion over the next decade.

#CapitalMarketsUnion should focus on risk capital, which is crucial for driving innovation. We need to address the entire value chain: from the start-up phase through the growth phase, all the way to the exit stage within European capital markets. 5/8
