On 27 February 2009 the Banco de España organised a conference under the heading “EMU: the first ten years” to commemorate the adoption of the euro on 1 January 1999. The conference was part of a series of events organised last year by the Spanish Central Bank to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Spain’s entry into EMU.
The international conference analysed what membership of the single currency had meant for the euro area countries and, in particular, for Spain. It was organised around four main sections: the achievements of and challenges ahead for EMU; the implications for the Spanish economy; the impact of the euro on
financial markets, and the consequences of EMU for the conduct of fiscal policy and for structural reforms.
This volume contains the papers presented at the conference organised on 27 February 2009 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the euro and of Spain’s participation in the third phase of Economic and Monetary Union. The conference,
attended by academics, public officials, central bankers and financial market participants, offered an opportunity to discuss the achievements of EMU to date, the challenges ahead and the performance of the Spanish economy in EMU.
It was organised around five main blocks: an introductory session, with opening remarks and a keynote speech, followed by four sessions devoted to the functioning of EMU during its first decade, the performance of the Spanish economy within EMU, the impact of the euro on financial markets, and the economic policies needed to augment the benefits of monetary integration, in all cases paying particular attention to the changing macroeconomic scenario in the wake of the global crisis. At each of the four sessions there were presentations of a main paper, followed by comments and general discussion.
