Euro zone countries are integrating faster with US than with each other, ECB says

ECB Vice President Boris Vujcic said fragmented capital markets are making Europe less resilient as cross-border equity barriers with the United States fall by a quarter since 2014.

  • On Monday in Dublin, European Central Bank Vice President Boris Vujcic stated that Europe is integrating faster with the United States than within the bloc, leaving the region vulnerable to economic shocks amid rising geopolitical tensions.
  • Despite European Union efforts to build a single market, national borders continue to fragment investment, which Vujcic warned makes the European economy inherently less resilient whenever a shock hits.
  • Citing ECB research, Vujcic said barriers to cross-border equity investment between Europe and the United States fell by a quarter since 2014, more than twice barriers within the euro area.
  • "In a fragmented Europe, investment becomes the margin of adjustment," Vujcic said, describing a resilience problem before it is a growth concern for the region.
  • European companies tend to scale back investment when oil prices rise, unlike United States firms, exposing the bloc to greater economic vulnerability and demonstrating the need for stronger internal market integration.
