  • 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.

  • EURO Based Currency Union: Motivation for Muslim Countries’ Economic Growth
    www.ccsenet.org/ijbm International Journal of Business and Management Vol. 6, No. 3; March 2011 EURO Based Currency Union: Motivation for Muslim Countries’ Economic Growth Mohammad Naveed Ahmed Department of Business Administration & Tourism Management Yunnan University, Kunming, China E-mail: [email protected] Kanya Hemman Department of Business Administration & Tourism Management Yunnan University, Kunming, China E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In economics, a monetary union is a situation where several countries have agreed to share a single currency (also known as a unitary or common currency) among them, for example, the EURO currency. A currency union differs from an economic and monetary union, where it is not just currency but also economic policy that is pooled or coordinated by a region. This paper will look into the EURO currency based currency union to see whether it really improves the member countries economic performance or not, which might be the motivation for Muslim countries to organize a currency union for their growth. To do this research, the economic data are collected from the World Bank Development Indicators database. Keywords: Currency Union, EURO, Gold dinar 1. Introduction Currency union is adoption of a single currency by a bunch of countries. European Union (EU) has recently formed a currency union by adopting a single currency called euro. Dollar inflation is the primary economic motivation and compulsion to seek a European substitute for the dollar. Primary aim under European Monetary Union (EMU) was to guarantee a price stability through monetary policy conducted by independent European central bank (ECB) using a single European currency.

  • Short-Run Determinants of the USD/PLN Exchange Rate and Policy Implications
    Theoretical and Applied Economics FFet al Volume XXII (2015), No. 2(603), Summer, pp. 247-254 Short-run determinants of the USD/PLN exchange rate and policy implications Yu HSING Southeastern Louisiana University, Hammond, USA [email protected] Abstract. This paper examines short-run determinants of the U.S. dollar/Polish zloty (USD/PLN) exchange rate based on a simultaneous-equation model of demand and supply. Using a reduced form equation and the EGARCH model, the paper finds that the USD/PLN exchange rate is positively associated with the real reference rate in Poland, real GDP in the U.S., the real stock index in Poland and the expected exchange rate and is negatively influenced by the U.S. real federal funds rate, real GDP in Poland, and the real stock index in the U.S. Hence, monetary policy is effective in influencing the USD/PLN exchange rate. Keywords: exchange rates, interest rates, real GDP, stock indexes, EGARCH. JEL Classification: F31, F41. 248 Yu Hsing 1. Introduction The Polish zloty/U.S. dollar exchange rate has experienced fluctuations like most other currencies in transition economies. During its early transformation from a socialist to a market economy, the zloty had declined significantly against the U.S. dollar from 0.0506 in 1989.M1 to 4.6369 in 2000.M10. The adoption of a managed floating exchange rate regime in April 2000, the joining of the EU in May 2004, relative political stability, improvements in international trade, and economic growth had made the zloty stronger as evidenced by the change in the exchange rate against the U.S.

An Economic Analysis of the Swedish Euro Referendum of 2003 By Lars Jonung and Jonas Vlachos∗ December, 2007 Abstract: The Swedish referendum on the euro in September 2003 is an exceptional event for researchers of monetary unions and of European economic integration. Voters chose between maintaining the domestic currency, the krona, and replacing it with the euro, the single currency of the European Union. The referendum revealed significant dividing lines between Yes- and No-voters in areas such as income, education, sex, employment, geographical location and industrial structure. The aim of this study is to explain the large differences in voting behaviour. The empirical analysis of the referendum outcome is based on the traditional optimum currency area (OCA) approach, merged with an account of the distributional effects of Swedish membership of the euro area as they were perceived by the voters.
