Territorial Development Insights Series
The 28th Regime introduces a harmonised EU-wide corporate legal framework to reduce regulatory fragmentation across Member States, in particular for startups and scaleups in the Single Market. The macroeconomic impact of the policy has been assessed using RHOMOLO, a spatial dynamic computable general equilibrium model covering 235 NUTS 2 regions of the EU. In the higher investment scenario, EU GDP is projected to increase by €712 million cumulatively over the first 10 years following adoption, rising to €2.1 billion by year 20, with cumulative multipliers of 1.6 and 4.8 respectively. These results are conservative, as they capture only burden reductions from procedural simplifications and do not account for wider effects such as enhanced access to finance, improved firm performance, or increased market entry.
