Europe's problems can be solved by a genuine single market, and there is no such thing in Europe.

At a Slovenian-Croatian business conference in Zagreb, speakers discussed the future of Europe's economy and the need for greater ambition to strengthen the European Union. Benjamin Josar of Triglav Investments emphasized the importance of creating a unified European capital market and transitioning from a 'present-focused' economy to one driven by digital innovation. He noted that while Europe has significant potential, it lacks a unified market and faces challenges in competing economically with the United States. Maja Bešević Vlajo of UniCredit Invest echoed these concerns, highlighting the need for structural economic reforms and stronger capital markets to support future growth. The discussion also touched on the role of private investment and the obstacles preventing effective economic development.
