Main Article Content
Abstract
Among 11 post-socialist countries which have already became members of the EU, only five have joined the common currency euro area. The remaining six do not make use of this right and do not fulfil their obligation. Poland, the largest economy of the region, is in this group. It has both causes and implications of economic and political nature. According to the Author, the Eastern European members of the monetary union should enter the euro area, as it is not only in the case of Poland that the benefits resulting from that entry considerably outweigh the costs associated with the conversion. At the same time, the accession of new countries, especially Poland, to the euro area, would positively affect the process of European integration.
