Stephan Leithner commented on this as follows:

“It was a pleasure to welcome Eurogroup President and Greek Minister of Economy and Finance Kyriakos Pierrakakis to our Deutsche Börse Group headquarters!

We had a very productive exchange on strengthening the global competitiveness of Europe’s capital markets and supporting the goals of the Savings and Investments Union through specific actions. The Eurogroup's leadership and the direct action by all the member states of the Eurogroup are essential to drive the momentum, particularly in building sustainable retirement financing through capital markets, and removing persistent barriers to higher liquidity on transparent markets. 

As the European champion for capital markets infrastructure, we strongly support these efforts to strengthen Europe. With over 16,000 engineers of the capital markets – 11,000 in Europe – we are leading the transformation of these markets, contributing the reliable infrastructure needed to drive investment in innovation, diversification, and growth. Our priorities are set out in our Savings and Investments Union Whitepaper: 

Let’s continue our exchange and join forces – to build the future for Europe!”
