ELTI Position Paper: Promoting Long-Term Investment in Affordable, Social, and Sustainable Housing in Europe: The Role of National Promotional Banks and Institutions
The paper highlights the role of National Promotional Banks and Institutions (NPBIs) in addressing Europe's housing crisis by promoting investment in affordable, social, and sustainable housing. In 2023, these banks financed nearly €50 billion, supporting over 380,000 dwellings.

Along with this position paper, ELTI has also presented its experience in housing in a common brochure with the sister association European Association of Public Banks (EAPB). PAddressing-the-Housing-CrisisDF
Against this background and in line with the principles enshrined in ELTI’s “Strategic Outlook” for the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF), the policy recommendations mentioned in the position paper should be considered when designing new EU initiatives in the field of housing.

ELTI, EVFIN, AECM & NEFI Position Paper: Unlock private capital – the Savings- and Investment Union
The Capital Markets Union (CMU) has been a major theme of European economic policy since 2014. The new Von der Leyen II Commission has made the ' Savings and Investment Union ' (SIU) a key point of its new mandate. The SIU aims to mobilise European savings for the real economy (80% are currently immobilised in bank deposits and short-term savings account), strengthen market-based financing of the economy (barely 20% today), and help finance the EU's considerable investment needs (€800 billion per year according to the Draghi report to finance the green and digital transition).
The competitiveness of the European financial sector is losing momentum, faced with increasingly stringent banking regulations, entirely focused on consumer protection, and higher prudential requirements than other global economies. 65% of equity assets under management are invested outside Europe and 47% in bonds, continuously increasing since 2012. The EU's relative size in global capital markets has decreased from 18% to 10% in 15 years.
The European Commission (EC) is consulting stakeholders to further develop its future initiative on SIU. One of the challenges of the SIU will be to ensure that European players seize all opportunities compared to American players present in Europe. To strengthen the SIU, ELTI, EVFIN, AECM and NEFI propose several measures in this common position paper. PUnlockprivatecapital–the Savings-andInvestmentUnionDF

AECM, EAPB, ELTI & NEFI Position Paper: Common Position Paper on the Future of Cohesion Policy with a Focus on Ensuring Regional Flexibility and Promoting Simplification
Our associations and networks believe that Cohesion Policy has been an important instrument in promoting regional development across Europe, while also contributing to the green and digital transitions. Particularly, we would like to emphasize the fundamental role played by many of our members in the implementation of this funding, relying on our strong presence within local economies.
Driven by this successful experience as implementing partners, we would like to share our common views in the incipient policy debate on the future of Cohesion Policy. We are particularly concerned about the potential alignment of future cohesion funding with the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) model. We believe that, instead, future reforms of the system should focus on simplifying funding regulations and reporting requirements, which are already excessively complex and risk becoming even more burdensome in the future.
