EU leaders to urge swift progress on joint capital market by year end

BRUSSELS, June 21 (Reuters) – European Union leaders will seek “swift and decisive” progress by the end of the year on a U.S.-style capital market to steer private investment into the bloc’s green and digital economy, according to draft conclusions of next week’s EU summit.

The leaders, who will meet in Brussels on June 27-28, agreed in April to reforms on several fronts to revitalise the EU economy and help it catch the United States and China in the global tech race.
