The €URO turned 25 this year! Since 1999, it fosters stability and prosperity in the EU – making it easier to work, study and travel abroad for almost 370 million people in 20 countries.

  3. What a horrible color scale … blue to red to yellow and then to green? jesus fucking christ

  4. Hah nice joke “stability and prosperity”. Forgotten about the eurozone debt crisis?

  5. „Prosperity” only for Netherlands and Germany lol

  7. As a Greek, the Euro fucked us. It was too strong for the Greek economy, which lost its competitiveness in exports and easier imports drove budget deficits to sky rocket.After the 2008 crisis we couldn’t devaluate our way out and had to go through disastrous internal devaluation policies. Now, the need for budget surpluses until 2050 forces us to be a very expensive non viable country (Norway prices, Balkan wages). That’s why although Greece has higher wages than most of Balkans and Eastern Europe, our GDP per capita PPP is the worst after Bulgaria.

  8. Can somebody enlighten me why Estonia is EE?
    I understand Spain is Espania and hence ES, but why not ET or something?

  10. “stability”, “prosperity” lmao, for Germany, Benelux sure but for southern Europe it was a disaster

    It’s a political neocolonial project

  12. Hungary seems to be still on the god old forint, no?

    And exchange rate has worsened by 30% since my last visit; maybe it’s time to return and fill up on Unicum!

  13. Same stability was in USSR times. No difference back then orders came from Moscow now a bit more confusing once from Strasbourg after six months from Brussels.

  17. Doubtful euro ad… In countries where local currency was less than euro, it made life more expensive for EVERY citizen at all times. Benefits of easier travelling for some at some periods of time do not stand the comparison.

  22. The euro has been in use in Croatia since before 2023 as far as I’m aware though?

  23. DING FLOF BIPS

    I still remember that stupid ‘phrase’ to help you remember which countries got the Euro in 2002.

  25. Unpopular opinion but if you are an Eu member state start to using euro or get out. How awful does it look if your are only taking the advantages of union and fuck the other rules. No one cares about your weird currency and makes it super awkward to search if 1500 of your non-sense is a good price for cup of coffee on a gas station

  27. “Fosters stability and prosperity in the EU” hahahaha southern europe would like a word

  28. For more stable year with the Euro. As long as the Euro is worth more than the US-Dollar we as a United institution do everything correct.
