to the Commission
Rule 144
Dan-Ştefan Motreanu (PPE)
A report published by Better Finance, the European Federation of Investors and Financial Services Users, highlights concerns among European retail investors regarding the lack of clarity and commitment surrounding financial products dedicated to transitional activities.
In a survey of retail investors in France, Germany and Italy, respondents emphasised the urgent need for clearer communication about transition finance products. They also called for the creation of dedicated financial product categories for transitional activities and the implementation of harmonised legislation to enhance trust and transparency across the EU.
These findings underline a growing demand for regulatory and market reforms to ensure that retail investors can confidently invest in products aimed at facilitating the transition to sustainable activities. Without clear guidelines, trust in these financial products may erode, potentially slowing the achievement of the EU’s green transition objectives.
What measures does the Commission plan to implement to improve transparency, create dedicated product categories for transitional activities and harmonise legislation to meet the needs of European retail investors?
