Expanding the European Economy: The Role of Capital Markets
Michael Milken, Robert Kricheff, Damian Lillicrap, Giuseppe Naglieri, Grace Peters, Mike Clowden, Mike Milken, Damien, Bob
At the 2017 Milken Institute Capital Markets Summit in London, moderator Mike Milken and a panel of financial leaders from J.P. Morgan, QSuper, and Shankman Capital analyzed the structural failures of Europe's bank-centric finance model, which they argue stifles SME growth and fuels political instability. The group contrasted this with the U.S. market's reliance on capital markets and the Australian pension system, advocating for regulatory reforms to diversify funding sources and encourage private equity and fintech to drive job creation. The panel concluded that addressing these capital access gaps through a Capital Markets Union and targeted investments in Latin America and Africa is critical to restoring middle-class prosperity and preventing democratic backsliding.
