During his ESM Youth Talk, ESM Chief Economist Rolf Strauch spoke with students from the Athens University of Economics and Business about the value of unity and the euro.

Remaining united and keeping a common currency throughout crises has benefited our Union in several ways:

✔️ Stable prices and no currency exchange costs in the Single Market.

✔️ Economic stability and convergence: more trade, investment and growth.

✔️ Integrated financial markets: more financial stability and better financing conditions.

✔️ Political unity: common currency and economic policy coordination.

✔️ Global influence: stronger presence for the EU in the global economy.
