Euro: l’herbe est-elle plus verte ailleurs ?

Abstract: On its 20th anniversary, the euro is enjoying remarkably high levels of support. However, a paradox exists in public opinion: each country appears to believe that the single currency is more beneficial for the other countries. Improving the functioning of national and European institutions could mitigate this paradox and strengthen attachment to the euro.

A vingt ans, l’euro bénéficie d’un soutien remarquablement élevé. Toutefois, un paradoxe existe dans l’opinion : chaque État semble considérer que la monnaie unique bénéficie plus aux autres pays. L’amélioration du fonctionnement des institutions nationales et européennes pourrait réduire ce paradoxe et renforcer l’attachement à l’euro.
