Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you to our hosts for this conference and invitation. I am pleased to be here in Denmark, where I spoke earlier today with students about financial literacy. This promises well for the future. As Commissioner for Financial Services, I visit all member states to talk directly with stakeholders. Its important to listen to challenges and expectations. Europe has great potential, and we must work together for economic growth. Our focus is on security, sustainable prosperity, and economic competitiveness. We aim to simplify regulations and invest in emerging sectors like AI and green technology. The plan for a Savings and Investments Union is a roadmap for economic potential and market integration. We strive for an efficient financial market that facilitates investments and helps businesses grow. Thank you.
