‘We’re a top-tier player that would be welcome in the eurozone’: Czech economy matured for the euro, says member of National Budget Council

1. It was mature 20 years ago. Countries that didn’t adopt the Euro missed the window of opportunity before it became a topic for populists and manipulators. Watching Czech political debates about this topic is always funny because you can see that even the normal politicians are scared shitless and prefer to deflect the topic rather than endorse the adoption of Euro.

2. Never gonna happen. Majority of population is against the adoption and there’s no reason to expend political capital to push it through.

   Besides, being able to manage interest rates does have some benefits.
