Wprowadzenie wspólnej waluty euro w Polsce a konkurencyjność gospodarki
Introducing Common Currency in Poland and Competitiveness of the Economy

Summary/Abstract: A full participation of Poland in Economic and Monetary Union including the replacement of national currency by Euro, has been the subject of many debates and discussions among politicians, economists and businessmen. Potential benefits and threats connected with this process are subject of many analyses and simulations. The problem seems to be particularly important in the context of the competitiveness of economy. As the result of economic and financial crises of the last decade, European Union, especially the Eurozone, have faced new development challenges, such as slow economic growth, budgetary deficits, and the rising public debt. These problems diminish the attractiveness of the Eurozone for the remaining EU countries. Nevertheless, the Euro area is still a counterbalance to big and strong economies, such as USA, Japan, China, or India. Therefore, it is worth considering the benefits and costs related to the possible introduction of the common currency in Poland, even if economic and political climate is not favourable no for such a decision. The paper presents the author’s view on the subject.
