Will the European capital markets union keep savings in the euro zone?
There are proposals ( e.g. the report by Christian Noyer ) to create a capital markets union in Europe. It is proposed to develop long-term European savings products, relaunch securitisation, unify capital market supervision and concentrate market infrastructures. But would implementing these proposals solve one of the major problem s , namely that part of Europeans' savings are invested in the rest of the world, particularly in the United States? Probably not , given the higher return on investments in the United States than in Europe, whether in bonds, equities or companies.
