  • The Quest for Monetary Integration – the Hungarian Experience
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive The quest for monetary integration – the Hungarian experience Zoican, Marius Andrei University of Reading, Henley Business School 5 April 2009 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/17286/ MPRA Paper No. 17286, posted 14 Sep 2009 23:56 UTC The Quest for Monetary Integration – the Hungarian Experience Working paper Marius Andrei Zoican visiting student, University of Reading Abstract From 1990 onwards, Eastern European countries have had as a primary economic goal the convergence with the traditionally capitalist states in Western Europe. The usage of various exchange rate regimes to accomplish the convergence of inflation and interest rates, in order to create a fully functional macroeconomic environment has been one of the fundamental characteristics of states in Eastern Europe for the past 20 years. Among these countries, Hungary stands out as having tried a number of exchange rate regimes – from the adjustable peg in 1994‐1995 to free float since 2008. In the first part, this paper analyses the macroeconomic performance of Hungary during the past 15 years as a function of the exchange rate regime used. I also compare this performance, where applicable, with two similar countries which have used the most extreme form of exchange rate regime: Estonia (with a currency board) and Romania, who never officialy pegged its currency and used a managed float even since 1992. The second part of this paper analyzes the overall Hungarian performance from the perspective of the Optimal Currency Area theory, therefore trying to establish if, after 20 years of capitalism, and a large variety of monetary policies, Hungary is indeed prepared to join the European Monetary Union.

This chapter reports on strengths and vulnerabilities that may have developed in the financial system since the time of the Latvia Financial System Stability Assessment (IMF Country Report No. 02/67), and discusses measures available to the authorities for further strengthening of the system. The FSSA found that the banking system was well capitalized, profitable and liquid. It was “fairly resilient” to interest rate increases, rapid credit expansion and possible withdrawal of nonresident deposits. The FSSA recommended continued vigilance by banks and the Financial and Capital Markets Commission (FCMC) to ensure that new vulnerabilities did not develop in these areas. Nonbank financial institutions were judged not large enough to be a source of systemic risk. Supervision and regulation were judged to be robust. 2. The present assessment is based mainly on an analysis of financial soundness indicators, including macroeconomic indicators such as inflation, and on stress tests of the financial system.

  • The History of the Romanian Monetary System in a European Context
    Mugur Isărescu: The history of the Romanian monetary system in a European context Opening speech by Mr Mugur Isărescu, Governor of the National Bank of Romania, on the occasion of the inauguration of the Euro Exhibition at Banca Naţională a României, Bucharest, 10 March 2011. * * * Dear Mr González-Páramo, Your Excellencies, Distinguished guests, It is an honour for us and we are glad to welcome you today, at the opening of an exhibition not only educational and attractive, but also relevant considering Romania’s euro adoption. We do hope the Euro Exhibition that the National Bank of Romania is hosting, on behalf of Romania, will prove successful all the more so as our country is destination No. 10 of the European Central Bank’s travelling exhibition. Let me thank Mr. José Manuel González-Páramo for accepting to jointly launch the Euro Exhibition today in Bucharest where it will be open for about three months, here, in the old financial centre of Bucharest where the Romanian leu was born. The leu-euro relation is thus acquiring a symbolical dimension with a certain meaning in the current European context. The reference to the European context is neither conventional nor formal. It reveals that the Romanian leu is one of the strong historical bonds that put our country on the European map. Its roots in the olden leeuwendaalder or the Dutch lion-thaler show not only its descent from the former Dutch coin (and therefore its being related to the US dollar), but also its European dimension as ever since its birth, shortly after the creation of the modern Romanian state, our leu currency was French.
