Ursula von der Leyen recently highlighted €10 trillion in EU household savings sitting idle in low-yield bank deposits. She is advancing the Savings and Investments Union to encourage voluntary channeling of this capital into EU firms, supporting competitiveness, defence, vaccine production, green technologies, better integration of immigrants, and growth.https://www.lefigaro.fr/conjoncture/10-000-milliards-d-euros-d-epargne-paresseuse-ursula-von-der-leyen-presse-les-europeens-de-mettre-cette-manne-au-service-de-ses-entreprises-20260829According to her, personal savings would be wasted on consumption, while the EU needs more investments in its own future to be competetive vs China. xDCritics note that many savers prefer safe, liquid deposits over riskier markets; incentives may prove insufficient or coercive in practice; deeper financial integration raises sovereignty and regulatory concerns; and structural barriers (fragmented markets, risk aversion) may limit real impact without addressing root competitiveness issues.
Without savings there's no capital to lend out and no bond market
>>541690794>wasted on consumptionDoes this bitch not know how an economy works?
>>541690794>lets kill the wealth, savings and emergency funds of the common man. Their poverty will drive the economy.There are no words of men or orc foul enough to describe these economists.
>>541690986They don't. No government acknowledges consumers and tries to crush them so they can whine about the economy as reasoning to further destroy privacy+rights.
>>541690902>>541690986>>541691070>>541691079The COVID vaccinated dont really need any savings imo xD
LoLThis kike bitch is going to fuck with the wrong mafia's pockets and gonna get droned one day.XDRIP in pieces old hag. XD
Let me have tax-free profits on those investments and I will cram my money so hard up europe's investment vagina it'll come out its mouth like in hentaisOtherwise noI'm not going to put my money at risk for the privilege of being taxed to the hilt on anything I make from it
Still waiting for finland to receive our first aid package for basically keeping russia at bay while at the same time being in economical gutter/stagnation for 20 years straight soon. Never happening tho but italy and spain and such get aid packages and then ask if we are mad for being so stupid.
in the beginning, the EU started out as a small trade and cooperation agreement. now it's chief bureuacrat is a de-facto continental dictator in total control of economy, defense, health and citizens bank accounts too, apparently

>>541691666If that is true then it just means they are going to invent a tax at people's savings on top of their stocks and other stuff. People are scared shitless about everything and are not spending because they fear a crisis, even hunger is ahead, so that means EU needs to have a justification for taxing some of the money you still have at the end of the month :) Only for poor and middle class tho.
>low-yield bank depositsBanks use those deposits to fund credits, therefore increasing consumption.
>>541691802It’s not true, after all, because she has no authority whatsoever.just a retarded panic thread
>>541692026What do you mean she has no authroity? She leads the commission, and the commission does what it wants. We just saw with Chat Control that they have no prolbem abusing and perverting the process of so-called democracy to bring about what they want in spite of the will of v*ters.
>>541690794how is she not hanging from a lamppost at this point?
>>541693579she has protection of the talmud
>>541690794I've got her speech here for those who want to read it. The whole speech is way more damming of the state of the EU than media outlets are mentioning regarding the potential confiscation of household savings.https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/api/files/document/print/en/speech_26_1765/SPEECH_26_1765_EN.pdf
Nafotroons voted for this
>>541690794>voted for it
>>541690986She's a career bureaucrat who's never had a real job, what do you think?
>>541692697Well then, go check exactly what she’s allowed to do and what powers she has under banking law, you moron.
>>541690794do what your master tells you to do, yurocucks. Don't you dare start questioning the narrative now.
>>541692026>in many EU countries 80-90% of laws come directly from EU and the countries themselves decide how much a parking ticket should be>"EU has no authority"The only silver lining is that EU doesn't have it's own armed forces but otherwise they do have authority it seems.
>>541690986EU is basically a cattle ranch for atlantist ambitions
>>541690794>the EUpeak clownworld
>>541692026So granted, the authority would most likely be economical sanctions for countries that don't play ball. Gladly this is not soviet union 2.0 fully because 1) ursula does not have tanks to send to countries and 2) people are still, for now, allowed to flee. Tho many people will not leave EU altogether, there's still too many pros in living here, but just moving within EU. Which you could not even do if it was soviet union. For now.
>>541693968>lawShe can just change the laws, Klaus. When you're willing and able to sidestep the democratic process you can do what you want.
>>541690794That hag is begging to get roped.
>>541694810Imagine their frustration when she and her kind will just die of old age.
>>541690986She's never done a day's work in her pampered life.
>>541693579Because>"But Putin!!!"
>>541694596Thats what NATO was supposed to be.The ICC was supposed to be thier judicial branch to fuck anyone who gets out of line. The WEF was supppsed to be thier legislative branch.One big globohomo to rule them all
>>541690794The banks already gamble with your savings. This isn't much different.
>>541694674>why can't I file my report as an interpretive dance
>>541690794She's right. Saving in fiat money is retarded.
