Estonia will adopt the euro on 1 January 2011
The Council has today¹ decided to allow Estonia to adopt the euro as its currency with effect from 1 January 2011. This decision will extend the euro area to a 17th Member State, and gives Estonia almost six months to prepare for the changeover. The Council also adopted Regulations setting a permanent conversion rate for the Estonian kroon against the euro, and adapting certain technical provisions on the euro. Euro notes and coins will be issued in Estonia at the same time as adoption of the euro. This conversion rate is set at 15,6466 Estonian kroonid to one euro, which corresponds to the current central rate of the kroon in the EU's exchange rate mechanism (ERM II).
Sixteen of the 27 Member States of the EU currently have the euro as their currency.
Euro banknotes and coins were introduced:
– on 1 January 2002 in Belgium, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Austria and Finland;
– on 1 January 2007 in Slovenia;
– on 1 January 2008 in Cyprus and Malta; and
– on 1 January 2009 in Slovakia.

¹ The decision was taken at a meeting of the Economic and Financial Affairs Council.

Governor of Eesti Pank: hat geschrieben: Estonia is prepared for living in the euro area

According to Andres Lipstok, Governor of Eesti Pank, Estonia is prepared for living in the monetary union, as Estonia has, like the euro area, resorted to other measures of economic adjustment than the changing the exchange rate.

"The Estonian kroon has been a cornerstone of our economy and has been supporting the stability of the Estonian monetary system for over 18 years. Conservative fiscal policy and open-economy driven decisions have further contributed to the currency board arrangement. Estonia has well preserved the Estonian kroon, and also vice versa," said Mr Lipstok.

"Estonia has adjusted to changes through a conservative fiscal policy, open economy and flexible labour and product markets. There has been no need to make adjustments by changing the exchange rate. In that sense, euro area membership will not entail any changes for us," noted the Governor.

"Accession to the euro area has opened up new prospects for development for Estonia. The euro as such does not make us smarter or raise our productivity overnight. However, joining the euro area will definitely increase confidence in Estonia's economy. It is clear to everybody that being part of the euro area means following certain rules. By becoming a member of the euro area, we assume the obligation to follow the common fiscal rules, which is only beneficial for Estonia in the long run," said Mr Lipstok.

The Governor added that the enlargement of the euro area and functioning of the European monetary union is of utmost importance, with Estonia's accession making a small additional contribution to that.

On Tuesday, EU finance ministers adopted the final decision on Estonia's accession to the euro area on 1 January 2011. The exchange rate was fixed at 1 EUR = 15.6466 EEK by the unanimous vote of the euro area finance ministers and Estonia's finance minister.
