Jordi Martí Pidelassera, Of Counsel at ALS TP, contributed to an article published this weekend in Via Empresa, analyzing the need to create a Capital Markets Union. This mechanism would help counterbalance the economic power of the United States and channel resources toward the major investments that the European Union requires in areas such as infrastructure, artificial intelligence, energy transition, and competitiveness, among others.
"Towards the Great European Stock Exchange: The EU’s Shield Against Trump’s Tariffs" examines the proposal to establish a Capital Markets Union (CMU) that would integrate the various stock markets across the continent. This project, initiated in 2015, aims to redirect European savings toward long-term investments, preventing capital flight to the United States.
In this context, the contribution of Dr. Jordi Martí Pidelassera, Professor and Doctor in Economic and Business Sciences at the University of Barcelona, stands out. He strongly advocates for stock market unification, arguing that this step should have been taken earlier. According to Martí, the creation of a single market would generate greater liquidity and new investment opportunities, particularly benefiting small and medium-sized enterprises.
His argument is based on the idea that an integrated stock market system could overcome the current fragmentation, driving economic growth and enhancing Europe's global competitiveness. His vision becomes a key point in the debate, highlighting that market consolidation could radically transform how resources are channeled and financial risks are managed in an era of international challenges.
