Members of the EFR (European Financial Services Roundtable, gathering Chairs and CEOs of European banks and insurers) call for a Shared Agenda for Growth and urge policymakers to focus in 2026 on two priorities:
1. Recognise growth and competitiveness as core regulatory and supervisory objectives.
2. Calibrate capital and regulatory requirements to support resilience and innovation.
Stability and competitiveness are not mutually exclusive. They are mutually reinforcing—and both are essential if Europe is to compete on the global stage.
