Bruegel Working paper-Instruments of economic security
May 23, 2024--The challenge of improving European economic security has grown in importance, with various relevant policy measures introduced at EU level
Geopolitical and economic developments, including Russia's invasion of Ukraine and trade disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic, have raised concerns about the European Union's exposure to hostile countries.
The challenge of improving European economic security (which we narrowly treat here as exposure to foreign trade or production shocks) has grown in importance, with various relevant policy measures introduced at EU level.
Focusing in particular on the threat posed by economic coercion, this paper begins by assessing the nature of this threat, before outlining two lessons that can be drawn from two recent instances of this coercion in action: China's actions against Lithuania and Australia respectively. First, while much of the policy debate has focused on imports, the threat to EU exporters should not be ignored. Second, while coercion may not cause any macroeconomically significant harm, this may mask severe impacts on the targeted industries, which should be considered in any policy responses.

ESMA makes recommendations for more effective and attractive capital markets in the EU
May 22, 2024--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU's financial markets regulator and supervisor, has today published its Position Paper on "Building more effective and attractive capital markets in the EU".
The Paper includes 20 recommendations to strengthen EU capital markets and address the needs of European citizens and businesses.
ESMA's recommendations for a well-functioning capital market focus on three dimensions: citizens, companies and the EU regulatory and supervisory framework. The actions proposed in this paper go beyond changes to financial regulation and are thus directed not only to capital market supervisors but also to EU Member States, the European Commission and EU Co-legislators as well as to the financial industry.
