    Reuters frames launch within private credit boom

    Reuters coverage situates the ECC launch within a broader surge in private credit, citing Moody's forecasts that assets under management could exceed $2 trillion in 2026 and near $4 trillion by 2030, driven partly by Europe's increased investment in defence, energy and infrastructure.

    “The formation of ECC is driven by a generational opportunity to mobilise global pools of capital to finance Europe's long-term growth agenda…”
