Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) is the framework of economic policies covering the EU – including both eurozone and non-eurozone countries. The principal long-term aim of the EMU is the economic convergence for the EU over three successive stages. Once a country reaches the third stage it is permitted to adopt the euro as its official currency. The adoption of the euro is a requirement of EU membership, and all Member States must adopt the common currency once they have satisfied the necessary criteria defined in the Maastricht Treaty (with the exception of Denmark and the UK, which have an opt-out from these Treaty provisions). There is no fixed timetable for the introduction of the euro, but the Treaty does require countries to join the euro area at a certain point. The countries currently awaiting to adopt the common currency are Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Sweden. Of the countries that joined the EU in or after 2004, Slovenia, Cyprus and Malta joined the euro area in 2007 and 2008; Slovakia followed in January 2009; Estonia joined in January 2011; Latvia joined in 2014; and Lithuania adopted the currency on 1 January 2015. Having joined the European Union in 1995, at least nine years prior to the other countries in this survey, attitudes and opinions are occasionally quite different for Sweden. Therefore, the average that comprises all seven countries should be compared to previous editions of this study with caution. This survey is the 21st in a series which began in 2004 and has helped the European Commission to track opinion, levels of knowledge and familiarity with the single currency among citizens regarding the future introduction of the common currency in their country. The report looks at: - levels of knowledge about and experience of the euro among citizens in the seven countries covered by the survey; - citizens’ feelings about how well they have been informed about the euro and their preferred information channels for learning more about it; - citizens’ perceptions of, and support for, the single currency; - and their expectations about the adoption of the euro both for themselves and for their country, and any potential positive or negative consequences they imagine.

Book excerpt: The euro area is the monetary union of European Union Member States which have adopted the euro as their common currency and sole legal tender. The euro was introduced to world financial markets as an accounting currency on 1 January 1999. After a transitional period of three years, when the euro was the official currency but only existed as 'book money', the euro bank notes and coins were adopted and became the official currency on 1 January 2002 in 12 Member States. Since then a further seven Member States have adopted the currency, with the euro area now made up of the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia and Spainches Whilst all EU Member States are part of the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) and coordinate their economic policy-making to support the economic aims of the EU, the economies of the euro area Member States are more integrated. In order to realise the full benefits of the single currency, the management of monetary and economic policy within the euro area is different. The European Central Bank (ECB) is the governing authority that defines the single monetary policy of the euro area, with the primary objective of keeping prices stable. Economic policy is largely the responsibility of individual euro area countries, but national governments must coordinate their respective economic policies in order accomplish the common objectives of stability, growth and employment. Since the introduction of the euro in 2002, the European Commission has regularly conducted surveys measuring public perceptions of the euro among citizens living in the euro area countries. As the euro area has expanded, surveys have also included questions about the adoption of the euro in new euro area countries. In this survey such a question is asked to respondents in Latvia and Lithuania - the most recent members to have adopted the euro currency. This Flash Eurobarometer survey represents the sixteenth in the series of surveys. It includes measures on: - Support for the euro at a national and at an EU level, and views on its impact on the European identity; - The perceived ease of handling and distinguishing euro coins and banknotes, views on the number of different value coins available, and attitudes towards the abolition of 1 and 2 cent euro coins. - Whether or not citizens convert prices from euros to their former national currency when making purchases. - The impact the euro has had in relation to travelling abroad in other EU countries - whether it has made it easier and less costly and whether it has reduced banking charges or not; - Within Latvia and Lithuania, the perceived impact of the euro on prices, in the changeover period; - In relation to economic policy: perceptions of whether there is the appropriate amount of coordination among euro area governments, and whether EU economic policy coordination has strengthened, weakened or remained the same in recent years; - Views on relation to the need for economic reforms; - Expectations about the current year's inflation rate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why was the euro created and how does it work? What caused the difficulties of the European currency and what solutions are being adopted to stop the instability that is frightening the entire financial world? The dream of a single currency and a single market has been nurtured in Europe for many generations. The euro has brought Europe considerable advantages, but it has also profoundly changed the balance of European economies. In this essay we will start from the base, explaining what the Euro is and what are the causes that have put it in crisis. We will see what strategies have been adopted to overcome the most difficult and dramatic moments experienced by the economy since the birth of the euro, and we will explain what proposals and initiatives individual countries have put forward to remedy the difficult situation and to relaunch the role of the euro on the continent and in the world.
Download or read book Europe and the Euro written by Alberto Alesina and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-04-15 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is rare for countries to give up their currencies and thus their ability to influence such critical aspects of their economies as interest and exchange rates. Yet ten years ago a number of European countries did exactly that when they adopted the euro. Despite some dissent, there were a number of arguments in favor of this policy change: it would facilitate exchange of goods, money, and people by decreasing costs; it would increase trade; and it would enhance efficiency and competitiveness at the international level. A decade is an ideal time frame over which to evaluate the success of the euro and whether it has lived up to expectations. To that aim, Europe and the Euro looks at a number of important issues, including the effects of the euro on reform of goods and labor markets; its influence on business cycles and trade among members; and whether the single currency has induced convergence or divergence in the economic performance of member countries. While adoption of the euro may not have met the expectations of its most optimistic proponents, the benefits have been many, and there is reason to believe that the euro is robust enough to survive recent economic shocks. This volume is an essential reference on the first ten years of the euro and the workings of a monetary union.

Book excerpt: At the stroke of midnight on 1 January 1999 11 European Union (EU) countries launched a single currency which they called the euro. For the first t ime in history since the Roman Empire, a large part of Europe now shares a common curre ncy. The switch to the euro is the largest currency change in history. The euro has b een many years in formation, development and implementation. In 1958, the members of the European Community agreed in the Treaty of Rome to create a common European market. The immediate objective was greater economic success and the ultimate ai m was to develop an economic and political union in Europe. The introduction of th e euro has not been without debate and its potential advantages and disadvantages are s till being discussed even outside the euro zone due to the significant economic posit ion of that area in the world. Now a day, we notice that other areas in the world are a lso considering the idea of having a common currency taking the euro experience as a model. In this paper we take the example of the GCC countries, which are current ly discussing the establishment of a single currency.
