The International Role of the Euro Remains Stable – but It Needs More Attention
- German
Despite the war in Ukraine and high inflation, the role of the euro in the global economy remained stable in 2022. The problems in strengthening its international role reflect the obstacles to further EU economic integration, says Paweł Tokarski.

20 years of the euro – and now? What does the future success of the common currency depend on?
- German
The euro currency was introduced as cash on 1 January 2002. The single currency has mitigated the impact of external shocks on the euro area economies and led to deeper integration. But many problems remain unresolved, writes Paweł Tokarski.
