“to Promote the financial integration – said Draghi – is, next to that of price stability – one of the primary objectives of the Eurosystem. It is essential for a good functioning of the single currency. In fact, you can consider the financial integration and the single currency as the two sides of the same medal: one of the motivations behind the effort towards the single currency has been the maximization of the benefits of the single market for capital” and, on the other hand, “an integrated financial market is necessary to have a single currency efficient”. It is for this reason that the Ecb “”look with favor on the project of the union of the capital market”. The project is able to complete the banking Union, strengthening the economic and monetary Union and strengthen the single market” so as to put together a banking Union, “the foundations for finan cial integration more sustainable in the future”.
