handle is hein.journals/jcmks39 and id is 1 raw text is: Journal of Common Market Studies March 2001 Vol. 39, No. 1 pp. 1-13 The Euro after Two Years* JEAN-CLAUDE TRICHET Governor of the Banque de France Ladies and gentlemen, it is a great pleasure and an honour for me to be speaking here, in London, at the invitation of the Journal of Common Market Studies, in front of such a distinguished audience. I am particularly happy to express my views on the already successful existence of the euro and monetary union, and the conditions and prospects for their further success. On 1 January 1999, a unique event in the history of Europe occurred. The euro was born and the irreversible nature of this change has convinced an increasing number of economic players that the success of the euro is necessary for Europe. It is a keystone of the European single market, which will ensure prosperity in Europe for the benefit of the rest of the world. I would like to draw your attention to why the euro and monetary union have been successful from the outset, and to the conditions and prospects for building on this success. I. The Conduct of Macroeconomic Policy The euro and Monetary Union are based on a credible monetary policy and contribute to an appropriate economic and monetary equilibrium in Europe. * This article is a revised version of the JCMS Annual Lecture, delivered on 10 October 2000 at the Guildhall in the City of London. © Blackwell Publishers Ltd 2001, 108 Cowley Road, Oxford OX4 1JF, UK and 350 Main Street, Malden, MA 02148, USA
