In a recent interview with Paperjam, Antoine Kremer – ABBL, ALFI & ACA Head of European Affairs – highlighted the importance of the upcoming European elections in shaping financial legislation.

Elevating financial interests

As the European elections approach, Antoine Kremer underscores the significance of MEPs in shaping financial legislation, urging them to combat rising protectionism threatening the EU’s single market. With EU regulations heavily influencing Luxembourg’s financial landscape, Antoine Kremer stresses the importance of active MEP engagement, particularly within critical parliamentary committees like the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON).

Addressing key challenges facing Luxembourg’s financial centre

Identifying strategic autonomy and capital markets union as pivotal challenges, Antoine Kremer navigates complexities exacerbated by Brexit and geopolitical shifts.
