EU must tap trillions of euros in private savings to keep up with US and China, investors say - Reuters

The EU is increasingly aware of the growing economic and technological gap with the US and China, especially as global competition intensifies and re-industrialization efforts take hold.

This highlights a growing consensus among investors and policymakers that the EU must internally mobilize significant capital to remain competitive on the global stage, indicating a potential shift in economic strategy.

There is a stronger rhetorical and possibly policy push to channel significant European private savings into EU-based ventures and strategic industries, rather than allowing capital to flow elsewhere.
