How The Euro First Appeared As A New Single Currency
Today there are 327 million Europeans which are using the Euro, making it as one of the top currencies around the globe. It started year 1992 with the aid of Maastricht Treaty when European Union was formed. Aside from that only European countries were the ones authorized to use the Euro and their budget should be lower than 3% GDP and 63% less GDP.
It was in 2002 when the Euro became the primary and only legal tender in about 12 states of Europe. It was the biggest currency event in the history of the world and since then 16 more countries have started to use the Euro. Essentially this plan has harmonized people in politics and gave help to deprived European countries as to improve their economic condition through using the Euro and keep them away from changeability of exchange rates because they are completely counting on Euro exchange rates.
It's such a hassle for vacationers from countries across Europe to exchange coinage every time they visit a country and not to mention the charge per transaction. Aside from that using one legal tender has developed firms due to transparent worth and changes in exchange rate.
Another advantage is that inhabitants from another country can work from one country to another and still receive that same rate of Euro. Long ago, US dollars were the world's principal coinage not until euro came. Initially, it appeared as though Euro may not be able to stand against the USD and indeed Euro exchange rates suffered in the first few years. Later then Euro surpassed US dollar as prime legal tender.
Now Euro's placed in money became stable and with higher rates than US dollar. US dollar and Euro costs approximately half of the Forex trade. Forex traders value exchange rates because it shows the economic condition of a certain country, like in Ireland, Greece and Portugal that is experiencing economic crisis though they use Euro.
It turned out that exchange rates of euro are very important particularly to the countries which uses it and the news revolving around it. Back in 2010 when Greece is suffering from economic crisis there's a very low rate of euro against US dollars. This sensitivity of Euro exchange rates continues to prevail in the Forex market and it has also caused substantial gains for Euro in a single day on occasions.
