ČRo Plus | One big European stock exchange? The ultimate nonsense, like moving to Mars the day after tomorrow

The European Union is struggling with economic problems and is increasingly looking at the back of the US and in some respects China. According to a report recently commissioned by the European Commission from the former central banker and former Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, the solution lies, among other things, in greater European investment. And to ensure that there is enough money for this and that European investors do not go elsewhere, the European capital market should be strengthened. Filip Křenek, project coordinator and analyst at EUROPEUM Institute, commented for Český rozhlas Plus.

ČRo Plus | Jedna velká evropská burza? Ultimátní nesmysl, jako se pozítří odstěhovat na Mars

Evropská unie se potýká s ekonomickými problémy a stále více se tak dívá USA a v některých ohledech i Číně na záda. Podle zprávy, kterou si nedávno objednala Evropská komise u bývalého centrálního bankéře a italského expremiéra Maria Draghiho, jsou řešením mimo jiné větší evropské investice. A aby na ně bylo dost peněz a evropští investoři nechodili na trhy jinam, měl by se posílit evropský kapitálový trh. Pro Český rozhlas Plus komentoval projektový koordinátor a analytik Institutu EUROPEUM Filip Křenek.

Hospodářské noviny | Europe prepares big changes to 'kick-start' business, according to Draghi

In a comprehensive analysis, renowned economist and former Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi warned EU countries that if their economies continue to grow as they have been, they are in for "slow agony". Well, stagnation. According to the former chief of the European Central Bank, the EU economies will be as large in 2050 as they are today, mainly because the number of people of working age will fall. The only way to reverse this trend is for EU countries to significantly increase their productivity. However, productivity in Europe has grown much more slowly in recent years than in the United States, for example. Filip Křenek, project coordinator and analyst at EUROPEUM Institute, commented for Hospodářské noviny.
