The transatlantic relationship is the foundation of global economic prosperity, innovation, and security. As AmChams in Europe, we call on leaders on both sides of the Atlantic to prioritize open and constructive dialogue, ensuring that our economies remain interconnected and future-proof.
Our shared economic space is the world’s largest and most integrated market, generating millions of jobs and fostering sustainable growth on both sides of the Atlantic.
Businesses require stability, predictability, and a conducive environment for trade and investment. The transatlantic partnership provides this essential framework. AmChams in Europe, uniting 50 American Chambers of Commerce across 48 countries, collectively represents over 17,000 American and European companies. A robust transatlantic framework enables companies to thrive, invest, and innovate.
The U.S. and Europe share one of the world’s most significant economic and strategic partnerships, accounting for nearly one-third of global GDP and a combined annual trading relationship worth over $1.9 trillion. Transatlantic investment remains vital, with mutual Europe –
U.S. foreign direct investment totaling more than $7.4 trillion, supporting over 16 million jobs and driving global competitiveness. These figures highlight the robust investment relationship between the US and Europe, reflecting deep economic integration and mutual financial commitments.
While differing perspectives may arise, our partnership is rooted in shared values, mutual interests, and decades of economic cooperation. AmChams in Europe serves as the collective voice of American and European businesses, advocating for policies that promote economic resilience, innovation, and sustainable development.
Now, it is essential to reaffirm our commitment to this partnership. The transatlantic relationship is not just about commerce but shared prosperity, innovation, and a vision for a stable and thriving global economy.
Let us strengthen the bridges that unite us, enabling businesses and communities to continue driving economic success for future generations.
