There have been various changes to the ministerial line-up at both junior and senior level. This brief outlines some of those changes and, where available, the immediate priorities and views of key Government personnel on responsible investment and related issues.

Once the election had been covered, Flavia provided a brief summary of the Capital Markets Union Mid-Term Review and an update on the Commission’s High Level Expert Group on Sustainable Finance.
