How to develop equity capital markets in the EU and the US

SHoF hosted a seminar to discuss recent listing trends and new rule proposals in the EU and US.

We discussed:

The global trend of fewer companies going public. What are the driving forces?
EU Commission's proposed Listing Act and how it will make it more attractive for SMEs to get listed on the European stock markets, integrate national stock markets and facilitate a Capital Markets Union.
Impact of new rules from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) when it comes to climate change, cybersecurity, SPAC disclosure and board diversity.
What are the Swedish national interests in creating an integrated EU capital market?
