Good, we don’t need it
As a Polish, living in Poland I’m ok with Euro. It will make traveling / holidays much easier.
However, taking into consideration current Polish economy and requirements from EU, there is no chance of introducing Eur in the next 6-8 years
Poles are against the Euro but take home loans in Swiss Francs. A Non-EU currency they have no say about. Smart.
Introducing of Euro would require a change of the Polish constitution (art. 227) so it’s completely pointless discussion considering the political situation in Poland
I mostly support introduction of Euro for the following reasons:
– One reason is that if PiS wins the future elections then it will prevent them from printing money again. Money emission in Euro area recently was smaller than in Poland. Only Orban issued more money in Europe (and got 20% inflation).
– Current mortgage rates are insane in comparison with Euro area. It is closely related to the previous point.
There are many pro and against for Euro, but i think the main one against from my point of view is the dependence on other countries.
Economic independence (and other factors) allowed Poland to completely avoid the 2008 economic recession. Even during Covid I’d say they we did relativity well, and I rememeber seeing a lot of license plates from outside the country on parking lots in front of shopping malls.
Among other factors, it would obviously make travelling and buying from EU easier, but a weaker currency is also better for exports.
Having a common currency without a common economic policy with redistribution is nonsense
Now would be a horrible time to push for the Euro after so many years of NCB mismanagement by Poland’s greatest standup comic.
What will happen to our industrial export if we adopt euro? Thats around 75% of our export. Won’t we lose our low cost advantage?
Cherry picking shouldn’t really be allowed, you’re either part of the EU or you are not.
Currency is way more than just method of payment – I’m very pro-EU but this why Euro adoption would make sense to me only if it would be coupled with stronger economic integration and common fiscal policy. We all have seen problems that Euro caused for the southern Europe.
Renouncing independent fiscal policy is just ridiculous for Poland. Having złoty is what saved us from 2008 crisis.
Coming from a Croat, introducing the euro looked amazing because travelling looked easier and it felt like a step forward because we’re in the EU, but stores and other businesses decided to “round up” the prices, obviously to something more expensive – leading up to things in the store such as a carton of milk going from lets say 8hrk (around 1.05 euros) to go to like 1.2 euros overnight, without any explanation everything became so much more expensive, but the salaries didn’t increase.
As someone from the UK I’d kill to have the fucking euro right now lol
