  • Euro Adoption in Romania: an Exploration of Convergence Criteria
    “Ovidius” University Annals, Economic Sciences Series Volume XX, Issue 2 /2020 Euro Adoption in Romania: An Exploration of Convergence Criteria Georgiana-Loredana Schipor “Ovidius” University of Constanta, Faculty of Economic Sciences, Romania [email protected] Abstract The aim of this paper is to analyze the position of Romania towards the Maastricht criteria, starting from the assumption that meeting the nominal convergence criteria is no longer enough for the Romanian adoption of euro. The most significant risks that the artificially integrated countries must face after the accession to the Euro Area were identified, using a large number of economic indicators that were distilled in order to design the Romanian progress in the process. The Romanian entrance into the Eurozone emphasize its major cost: the loss of monetary policy independence. The current methodological approach is twofold. First, the nominal and real convergence criteria were examined based on one-point-in-time approach. Second, it was considered the Romanian people perception about the adoption of the euro currency in accordance with a sequence of key-events suggesting a significant change due to multiple abandoned adoption targets, Brexit event or the pandemic context. Key words: nominal convergence, real convergence, Euro Area, Romania J.E.L. classification: F15, F44, E52 1. Introduction The European monetary integration is subject to a permanent debate in the Romanian context, the opinions being in the direction that meeting the nominal convergence criteria is no longer enough for the Romanian adoption of euro. If the cyclical economic events are not correlated among the Member States, the catalysts efforts transform into a significant risk the artificially integrated countries.

E-mail: [email protected] Received: April 10, 2012 Accepted: May 8, 2012 Online Published: July 1, 2012 doi:10.5539/ibr.v5n8p17 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ibr.v5n8p17 Abstract In order that the monetary policy of the ECB to be efficient it is necessary that the monetary transmission mechanism from our country to be similar to the one from the euro area, which reveals the similarity of the financial system structure. In monetary transmission mechanism a major role is held by the structure of financial assets and liabilities of household and corporations. In this way, we have done a comparative analysis of the financial structure of households and corporations in Romania and the euro area for the period 2007-2010. The negative effects of loosing monetary policy autonomy can be taken away by promoting restrictive fiscal and income policies. But the inflation rate in Romania will be influenced not only by the national fiscal policy, but also by the fiscal policy of the countries from the euro area. Therefore, we have analysed the spillover effects of the fiscal policy. Keywords: Euro, inflation rate, fiscal policy, spillover effect 1.

  • The Risks of Euro Adoption in Romania – an Analysis Based on Ten Criteria
    TheTheoretical risks of Euro and adoptionApplied inEconomics Romania – an analysis based on ten criteria 35 Volume XX (2013), No. 1(578), pp. 35-50 The risks of Euro adoption in Romania – an analysis based on ten criteria Marius-Corneliu MARINAŞ The Bucharest University of Economic Studies [email protected] Abstract. In this study, I have proposed and examined ten criteria to analyze the challenges of joining at Monetary Union, explaining the need to include them in government and multinational companies’ strategies. The criteria adopted in the case of Romania concern the potential impact of Euro adoption on economic activities, the common monetary policy effects on the Romanian economy, synchronization with the Euro area, labour market flexibility, as a tool of shocks adjustment etc. After stating each criterion, I have made a brief analysis of how that could affect the balance of costs and benefits of giving up own currency, using conclusions of the optimum currency areas theory. Keywords: real convergence; trade integragion; business cycle convergence; labour market flexibility; optimum currency area. JEL Codes: F15, F43, F44. REL Codes: 20E; 20H. 36 Marius-Corneliu Marinaş At first glance, the theme proposed in this study might seem inappropriate in a time characterized by increasing increasing uncertainty in the construction of the European Monetary Union and by the prospect of strict institutional arrangements that will increase the costs of participating at the Euro area. However, the analysis will certainly pass the test of time because they remain valid regardless of the fate of the Euro zone or the time of adoption of the Euro currency by Romania.
