European Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) opera4onal from 4 November 2014
• new system of banking supervision for Europe • comprises of the ECB and naWonal supervisory authoriWes of euro
area countries • with an objecWve to ensure the safety and soundness of the
European banking system and increase financial integraWon and stability
• one of the two pillars of the EU banking union, along with the Single ResoluWon Mechanism

D. Nouy, Chair of the Supervisory Board of the SSM, interview with Äripäev (03/09/2014)

But – early promising signs!
• The BalWc InnovaWon Fund (BIF): – EUR 200 million invested in BalWc private equity and venture capital
funds over 4 years • Review of regulaWon on investment funds
– drap legislaWon proposed by the Ministry of Finance • easier to start different types investment funds • review of investment constraints on pension funds, allowing for more investment in local assets

• Do we need an acWve Estonian capital market or easy access to funding for Estonian companies? – room for more regional cooperaWon?
• Do we know where is the demand for alternaWve sources of funding for businesses most pressing? – access to equity and mezzanine probably more constrained than
straight debt? • Do we have local savings to meet that demand?
– seems to be the case… • How to make the demand and supply meet?
– necessary to educate both sides? • Role of the government
– focus on the regulatory framework rather than outright funds
