Moreover, it informs readers about the story behind the single currency, deregulation and liberalization policies applied by numerous EU countries during the 1980s and 1990s as well as procedures during to change over to the euro. Furthermore, the price stability of the euro since its introduction, as well as financial integration in the EU are discussed.
