Description: The papers included in this volume study the relationship between the EU accession process of Central European candidate countries and their involvement in the process of European monetary integration. The book focuses on two main questions. First, are these countries (now or possibly later) part of the European optimum currency area so that they should belong to the Euro zone in the near future?

Second, if so, how and when should they undertake the necessary adjustments in their monetary and exchange rate policies and join the ERM 2 and the EMU?
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
"This book contains the collection of working papers resulting from the research project 'Inclusion of Central European Countries in the European Monetary Integration Process,' which were presented at two workshops in Leuven in February 1997 and in Ljubljana in September 1997"--Preface.
