It follows the creation of a joint workstream in December 2025 and reflects what the authors describe as a “high degree of cross-market participation” across the region.

Watchdogs, a two-speed Europe and an exclusive “E6” club: It’s all here in your essential guide to understanding the hottest topic in Brussels.

If there’s a particular piece of EU jargon that’s been on everyone’s lips lately, it’s the “Savings and Investments Union.”
