Martin Hudec – Zuzana Okasová - TOWARDS COMMON ECONOMIC AND MONETARY UNIONS (Smerom k spoločným ekonomickým a monetárnym úniám)
Abstract: Nowadays, there exist numerous fiscal courses of action between countries that are far expelled from the Eurozone somewhat deficient money related union, but then, likewise take after tenets, and oblige the national financial arrangements of the members. One such course of action is a settled conversion scale framework. A few cases of such settled swapping scale frameworks in the Second War time frame are the Bretton Woods framework of monetary management, established in the mid-20th century, and the ERM-II, established in 1979 as the European Monetary System. Numerous nations on the planet peg their cash to another, specifically to the dollar. In Europe, various nations peg their monetary standards to the euro (meeting convergence criteria namely, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Sweden or with an opt-out – Denmark). By doing that, they enable fragmented fiscal unions with the nation to which they peg. Unmistakably, these are monetary related unions, which are considerably more fragmented than i.e. the Eurozone. Naturally, we should distinguish between an inadequate and a full monetary union, or in other words, the fiscal union where every part nation keeps up its own free budgetary approach and the budgetary unification. The aim of our research paper is therefore to analyze selected issues related to different convergence processes towards monetary unions.
