Importance of the Euro
Euro (EUR) is the native currency of 19 European Union countries and is used by more than 340 million EU citizens. Thus, EUR is the second most widely used currency in the world. Euro is very important for the EU countries since it provides security from foreign exchange shock, making the global economy less vulnerable and ensuring lower transaction, financial, and foreign exchange costs for international businesses. Moreover, as a global currency, it aims to engage in sectors such as energy, raw material trading, and aircraft manufacturing where most of the transactions are done using USD. Last but not least, the EUR has been linked with more than 60 countries and territories outside the EU.
Introduction of the Euro
The Euro as a native currency was first introduced in 1991 in the Maastricht Treaty as the common unit of exchange of the 12 original member countries of the European Community. The new currency was issued officially on the 1st of January 1999. Initially, the use of EUR was in certain businesses and financial markets and after 2002 the currency started to be used by most of the member states. The EUR is managed by the European Central Bank which is located in Frankfurt, Germany. Euro is not used by all of the European member states but only by 19 of the 27 which are called the “eurozone”.
