That being said the Euro is still a young currency at around 8 years old and it still needs to stand the test of time IMO. The Euro countries have no choice but to keep coming closer together. Not having a strong federal government like the U.S. and losing independant monetary policies I feel is a major disadvatange. That is partly why the U.K. keeps their pound.
What if Germany requires an increase in rates, while Spain needs an interest rate cut to stimulate demand. What is the ECB to do? That is just one of the reasons why I feel their governments are going to have to become more connected.
