Katie Martin: 我认为欧洲市场长期以来规模小且分散,一直被更强大、更具优势的美国市场所压制。现在,国际投资者正在寻找美国以外的投资机会,这为欧洲提供了一个独特的机会来重塑其金融格局。为了抓住这个机会,欧洲需要克服其内部的金融碎片化问题,并创建一个更具凝聚力和竞争力的金融体系。我强调,欧洲各国在银行、公司和破产法规上的差异阻碍了资本市场的充分发展,使得跨境交易复杂且成本高昂。因此,欧洲必须采取实际行动,推动市场整合,而不是仅仅停留在口头上的抱怨。 Robert Armstrong: 我在采访Enrico Letta后,更加坚信欧洲市场整合的必要性。Letta的报告明确指出,欧元区在建立单一货币时,未能充分整合金融体系和关键产业,这导致欧洲的金融市场深度和流动性不足,融资成本居高不下。我认为,特朗普政府的政策实际上为欧洲提供了一个机会,促使其加快整合步伐。如果美国从全球领导地位上退却,欧洲需要一个强大的资本市场来支持其国防开支,并在全球舞台上发挥更大的作用。Letta提出的“第28区”的概念,为欧洲公司提供了一个虚拟的注册地,可以简化运营流程,避免面对多个市场的不同规则,我认为这是一个非常有创意的想法。

Shownotes Transcript

The weakening dollar suggests international investors are looking for other places to put their money. This could be an opportunity for Europe to finally compete with the US as a safe haven and reserve currency. But Europe is still financially fragmented. Today on the show, Katie Martin and Rob Armstrong discuss a new idea for creating a common regulatory and lending framework. Also they go short the “big, beautiful bill” and short lies from Big Tea.
