Euronext, which recently integrated the Athens Stock Exchange, reiterates its longstanding support for the consolidation of European markets. The group believes that further improvements are necessary for the current European Commission proposal, aimed at enhancing market functionality and increasing transparency and visibility. This is seen as crucial for making the markets more appealing to investors and contributing to the overall attractiveness of the European market landscape.

The company highlights the importance of robust capital markets for European citizens and businesses, stressing that they need markets that cater to their investment needs while also requiring enhanced financing options. This need aligns with the strategic goals of the European Union, which seeks to bolster investment and economic development across member states. Euronext insists that eliminating barriers hindering growth and expansion is essential for meeting these objectives.

In December 2025, the European Commission introduced the Market Integration Package (MIP), aimed at addressing these challenges. Euronext's call for improvements reflects a broader concern within the EU about the effectiveness of capital markets in supporting economic growth and fulfilling the investment needs of European entities. By pushing for these reforms, Euronext aims to facilitate a more integrated and competitive European financial market.
