Key points

The EU faces a significant productivity gap and requires an additional 750 to 800 billion euros in annual investment to remain competitive.
A major goal is to create a Savings and Investments Union to move household wealth from low-return deposits into productive market investments.
The report calls for strengthening the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) with more direct supervisory powers over pan-European infrastructures.
There is a push to shorten the settlement cycle for financial transactions from two days to one day to increase market efficiency.
