The UK and European Monetary Union: why we should not stand aside

Article Abstract:

The UK should join the planned European Monetary Union since staying out would give the UK less influence in deciding on European economic policy. Concern over the loss of UK sovereignty could lead to a reduction in the influence of the UK in Europe. Direct foreign investment may also be reduced if the UK stays outside the European Monetary Union. There are divisions within Europe in terms of the extent to which convergence criteria for union is being met, so it is not certain whether such a situation would arise.

A review of its history, however, leads one to believe that much can still be achieved if only certain changes were applied. These include a shift in focus from the exchange rate to the fundamentals and general world economic problems and the need to streamline the coordination process.
