Only 1 in 5 Europeans understands basic finance.
We all need to know how to spot scams, save, and invest. It requires honest, transparent advice, also from influencers.
At the EPP Group, we want to ensure that every European has access to clear financial education.
We believe that with the right information at hand, you gain the freedom to grow your savings.
Our goal is simple: to give you the tools to save more, invest better, and protect your future.

Congratulations, @Pierrakakis👏!
Greece’s journey—from the financial crisis to becoming a true European success story thanks to @kmitsotakis—shows what strong leadership can achieve. Now Greek leadership takes the helm of the #Eurogroup. Great news for Greece, Europe & the @EPP!
"Europe must invest more in AI to boost its economy and strengthen competitiveness. The financial sector has a key role in mobilising private investments in AI.
Now is the time to clarify existing AI rules and remove regulatory overlaps", says

Promoting financial education across the EU means promoting resilience: empowering people to manage risks, build savings, and seize opportunities in a changing world. We will follow up on the Commission´s strategy with concrete and ambitious proposals, says @lidiafopereira.
Financial literacy and tax-efficient investment accounts are the ignition key to mobilising more private investment in Europe.
Simple, tax-friendly investment accounts can have a real impact. A low-threshold entry and preferential tax treatment are key, says @MarkusFerber.
#InvestEU has proven its worth. We are giving the engine more horsepower and discarding unnecessary ballast.
We are cutting red tape, not corners. Each euro from the EU budget attracts several more from private investors.

We fought hard to make the #InvestEU loan programme more accessible, efficient, and impactful, and we got the results we needed. With an additional €4.5 billion in guarantees, we’re enabling up to €70 billion in new investments. @aurasalla @EP_Budgets#Investment#Omnibus
Today in @EP_Budgets x @EP_Economics, we voted on our report on the Recovery and Resilience Facility.
We call on the @EU_Commission to allow an 18-month extension for mature RRF projects across all Member States—ensuring vital investments and reforms can be completed successfully.

🚨Billions in European savings flow to the US every year. That must change.

It is high time to finalise a trade agreement between the EU and #Mercosur countries.
If we continue to hesitate, China will fill the gap that Europe leaves open through our lack of engagement.
The EU-Mercosur Agreement must be swiftly ratified.

A historic moment. We have just concluded negotiations with #Mercosur, creating the largest free trade zone in the world. This will provide job opportunities, foster growth, and enhance geopolitical leverage for European citizens.

We welcome the conclusion of negotiations on the #Mercosur Agreement.
We are creating the largest free trade zone in the world, with an additional market of 260 million potential consumers of European goods.
It is a win-win for European and South American countries.
It‘s happening! After 25 years of negotiations, the EU is about to sign its mega trade & political partnership deal with South America‘s Mercosur bloc.
Contrary to what critics say, I‘d argue it‘s not only geopolitically crucial but also good for farmers & environment. Thread 1/
