Partner Alessia Allegretti published an article in Milano Finanza titled “Quell’insostenibile costo nascosto per l’Ue” (“That Unsustainable Hidden Cost for the EU”), examining the structural cost Europe continues to bear as a result of the incomplete integration of its single market.
The article highlights how fragmented services markets, limited capital mobility, and persistent internal barriers continue to constrain growth, investment, and Europe’s ability to act at scale. Alessia argues that completing the single market is no longer a technical exercise, but an economic and geopolitical priority, directly linked to Europe’s competitiveness and strategic autonomy. Without more decisive action, Europe risks remaining “large on paper” while underperforming in growth, innovation and global competition.
