The Euro and 'Offshore Europe.'

Article Abstract:

The move of the European Union to adopt a single currency, the euro, by January 1, 1998, offers many opportunities for efficient investment management. However 'offshore' countries within the EU may experience problems associated with unrestricted capital movements, the absence of currency risks within the EU, and the presence of standard interest rates. This is because 'offshore' countries, specifically Luxembourg, gives outside investors lower taxation rates relative to their domestic capacity in order to generate investments.
