In response to the hot topic of immigration across Europe, the EU has implemented a series of policies to better secure its borders. And, it seems like those policies are working. In this video, we’re taking a look at the EU’s new strategy and what might happen next.

Euro coin is the gun of Germans to rule Europe. As a Greek i consider eurozone the biggest crime organisation.
For sure the so called greek debt crisis is fake. Is a fraud. ECB count as public debt the collateral bonds greek state published for banks.
Helmut Schmidt one of the co-founders of EU was very critical for what ended to be. Among others EU is very racist blaming Greeks for lazy and being corrupt.
I wish Greece exit eurozone and stay in EU only for it's benefit otherwise exit from EU as well.

According to international monetary economics we are not an optimal currency area (OCA) and we lose more than we gain according to it. But it doesn't mean that we cannot be in the future. If we cooperate and put our stupid differences and egos aside. The euro can outperform single currencies enormously. Right now it isn't really.

I know how dependent smaller countries in the eurozone are on dependent on trading with the euro and how European economies are interconnected. A fight for individual control over monetary policy is quite confusing. Then again, I won't claim to know enough. As much as I believe a nation's growth and an economic recession are related and how economic downturns are natural, now is the moment to rethink the policies that are to blame especially with the ECB increasing rates and making loan repayments harder for the basic people. In either case, I'm happy I sold the vast majority of my euro holding at a premium. Can't risk the dollar drawdown alongside the euro.

"Eurozone countries must aim to keep their nation's debt to less than 60% of GDP."
The US with a 123% Debt-to-GDP ratio: that's cute.

Something I think is a bit interresting is that several of the more recent members of the euro zone are countries that have got independet from biggers countries like Estonia, Latvia, Lithaunia (Sovjet Union), Slovakia (Czechoslovakia), Slovenia and soon even Croatia (Yugoslavia).

I am interested in the opinion of low-income EU citizens on how they live and shop with the euro. I don't know a Slovak who would praise the Euro. Everyone lived better with the Slovak crown. The only Slovaks who are satisfied with the Euro are the rich Slovaks. We do not have the Euro and I am glad for that.
@Michal10
March 2, 2024 at 1:00 pm
The euro is not for the benefit of the individual, but of the rich and entrepreneurs. It is more of a political tool than an economic one. If countries kept their currencies and the Euro was used in foreign trade outside Europe, it would be far more advantageous. Central banks would protect their own people from inflation, but as a Union, we would have better deals with the Euro. If we could make it PetroEuro and compete with the dollar, we would be in a better economic and political situation, with Europe playing a better role in the world, regardless of its alliance with the United States.

Can you shed any light on why 8 EU countries are still not part of the eurozone? Given Brexit, I would have thought the EU would be welcoming as many as they can to join the 'secondary' club? I recall Croatia were keen, if not desperate, to push this through being the latest addition to the 'primary' club but it all seems to have grinded to a halt…

Back in the pre-โฌ 1970s we lived in Germany near the French border. One Sunday our father drove us across the border for lunch. On the way home my sister has to go to the toilet urgently. Our parents didn't have enough French coins to put in the door of the toilet stall, so my poor sister had to crawl under the tiny opening on a nasty floor to get in. If we'd had the โฌ back then, her dignity (and hygiene) would have been saved.
