Abstract: Abstract More than a decade has passed since the outbreak of deficit crisis in Greece, and the question that arose was whether Greek economy was stabilised—at least until the COVID-19 pandemic. On the other hand, economic prospects in Europe are related—up to a point—to next steps in European integration, especially those dealing with the transformation of Monetary Union (MU) into a real Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). This correlation may be crucial for ‘peripheral’ Eurozone member states. For the purposes of the article, the operation of Monetary Union and its implications for less competitive Eurozone member states, including Greece, is examined. In this analysis impact of fiscal and pandemic crises on economy is also taken into account. The article examines initiatives and proposals for making the MU resembling more to EMU under the pressure of recent crises, concluding that a potential evolution of existing architecture of the Eurozone seems to be necessary, in order to avoid similar asymmetric shocks and crises in the future.
