When the walls come tumbling down
Article Abstract:
The European Monetary Union is likely to put pressure on most businesses as the removal of foreign exchange barriers is likely to push companies to rethink the way they do business. Companies likely to lose from monetary union include banks dealing in foreign exchange and businesses that concentrate on the local markets. Businesses likely to survive are those adequately prepared for the union, multinational businesses, and those who have invested a great deal to improve their efficiency.
