L'euro

La zone euro a été créée en 1999 par 11 des 15 pays que l'UE comptait alors, rejoints par la Grèce en 2001, la Slovénie en 2007, Chypre et Malte en 2008, la Slovaquie en 2009, l'Estonie en 2011, la Lettonie en 2014, la Lituanie en 2015 et la Croatie en 2023. La Suède et le Danemark ont décidé lors de référendums qu'ils n'adoptaient pas l'euro pour l'instant .

02

L'euro

Les pays candidats à l'entrée dans la zone euro doivent respecter les critères dits "de Maastricht". Ces critères imposent :- la maîtrise de l'inflation ;- une dette publique inférieure à 60% du produit intérieur brut (PIB) ;- un déficit public de 3% du PIB maximum ;- la convergence des taux d'intérêt ; - la stabilité du taux de change, critère devenu obsolète avec le passage à l'euro.Les membres de l'union économique et monétaire (UEM) doivent continuer à respecter ces critères une fois entrés dans la zone euro, sous peine d’avertissement puis de sanction.
