euro
euro Single currency unit of the
European Union (EU). The
Maastricht Treaty (1992) established a timetable for economic and monetary union
(EMU). A European Currency Unit
(ECU) acted as a theoretical unit until the birth of the Euro on January 1, 1999. In this first stage, 11 member states (Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain) fixed their exchange rates against each other and against the euro. International financial transactions began to be calculated in euros and the European Central Bank took control of a single monetary policy. In a ‘second wave’, the euro entered public circulation on January 1, 2002, and circulated alongside national currencies for six months, after which national currencies were abolished. Denmark, Sweden, Greece, and the UK ‘opted out’ of the first wave. See also
European Monetary System (EMS);
Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM)
