EU Commission President Calls for Regulatory Simplification to Boost 2028 Single Market

EU leaders are urged to simplify cross-border business regulations to enhance competitiveness and reduce fragmentation. President Ursula von der Leyen highlighted 27 distinct financial supervisory systems and over 300 trading venues as barriers to a unified capital market. She advocates a single, deep, and liquid market as part of the Savings and Investment Union. A joint single market roadmap to 2028 with a clear timetable is expected to be endorsed at the March EU summit.
