INTRODUCTION
As a requirement of EU membership, all Member States must adopt the common
currency, the euro, once they have satisfied the criteria defined in the Maastricht Treaty
on the Functioning of the European Union (this excludes Denmark and the UK, which
have a specific opt-out from these Treaty provisions). There is no fixed timetable for the
introduction of the euro in the Member States that joined in or after 2004, but the Treaty
does require them to join the euro area at an undefined date in the future.
Of the countries that joined the EU in or after 2004, Slovenia, Cyprus and Malta joined
the euro area in 2007 and 2008; Slovakia followed in January 2009; Estonia joined in
January 2011; Latvia joined in 2014; and Lithuania adopted the currency on 1 January
2015.
With Lithuania having recently become the 19th euro area country, Sweden takes its
place in this edition of the survey, joining Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic,
Hungary, Poland, and Romania.
Having joined the European Union in 1995, at least nine years prior to the other
countries in this survey, attitudes and opinions are occasionally quite different for
Sweden. Therefore, the average that comprises all seven countries should be compared
to previous editions of this study with caution.
This survey is the 17th in a series which began in 2004 and has helped the European
Commission to track opinions, levels of knowledge and familiarity with the single
currency among citizens regarding the future introduction of the common currency.
The report looks at:
levels of knowledge about and experience of the euro among citizens in the seven
countries covered by the survey
citizens’ feelings about how well they have been informed about the euro and
their preferred information channels for learning more about it
citizens’ perceptions of, and support for, the single currency
and their expectations about the adoption of the euro both for themselves and for
their country, and the potential positive or negative consequences they foresee.

This survey was carried out by the TNS Political & Social network in the seven Member
States that have not yet joined the euro area and have no specific opt-out, between 20
and 22 April 2015. Some 7,022 respondents from different social and demographic
groups were interviewed via telephone in their mother tongue on behalf of the
Directorate-General for Economic and Financial Affairs (DG ECFIN).
The methodology used is that of Eurobarometer surveys as carried out by the
Directorate-General for Communication “Strategy, Corporate Communication Actions and
Eurobarometer” Unit)1.. A technical note on the manner in which interviews were
conducted by the Institutes within the TNS Political & Social network is appended as an
annex to this report. Also included are the interview methods and confidence intervals2.

MAIN FINDINGS
Awareness of the euro
Only around three in 10 respondents (31%) say correctly that 19 countries
already use the euro: over half (54%) gave the wrong number of euro area
countries.
Over two thirds of the respondents (69%) think that the euro will be introduced
in their country at some point in the future. Only around one tenth of
respondents believes it will never be introduced (12%).
Just under a fifth (17%) of respondents believe that their country is ready to
introduce the euro.
Roughly half of the respondents (49%) know that euro banknotes look exactly
the same in all countries that use the euro, but only around a third (36%) know
that euro coins have partly different designs from country to country.
Around nine out of 10 people (91%) have seen euro banknotes, and around
seven out of 10 have used them (71%). The respondents’ experience of euro
coins is slightly lower.
Nearly six out of 10 people (57%) who have used euro banknotes say they have
only used them abroad – 10% more than said this in 2014.
Informing citizens about the euro
Over half of the respondents (54%) do not feel well informed about the euro.
However, at 44% the proportion of people who feel well informed is at an all-time
high.
Most respondents would like to receive information about the euro either as early
as possible (28%) or at least a few years before the changeover (37%).
The National Central Bank (70%) and European institutions (53%) are the most
trusted sources when it comes to receiving information about the euro. However,
the level of trust in both has declined markedly since 2014.
Television (70%) and Internet (58%) are considered the most useful means of
receiving information about the euro.
Over seven out of 10 people think that the various proposed elements of the
information campaign are essential, except for what euro notes and coins look
like.
Dual displays of prices (70%) and amounts on bills (66%) are seen as the most
essential thing to include in an information campaign.

The euro: perceptions and support for its introduction
A majority of people (53%) think that the introduction of the euro would be
negative for their country.
Romania (54%) and Hungary (50%) are the only two countries where at least
half think the euro would have positive consequences for their country.
A relative majority of respondents (47%) say the euro will have negative personal
consequences.
Opinion is equally divided over the issue of whether to introduce the euro: 49%
are in favour vs. 48% are against.
However, a majority is in favour of joining the euro in four countries: Romania
(68%), Hungary (60%), Bulgaria (55%) and Croatia (53%).
A relative majority of respondents (42%) would like the euro to be introduced as
late as possible. Only people in Romania favour early adoption of the currency.
Consequences of adopting the euro
A majority of people (51%) feel the impact of the euro has been positive in the
countries already using it.
Over six out of 10 people (63%) say that introducing the euro will cause prices to
go up.
The main effects of joining the euro are expected to be that it will make the
countries that join feel more European than they do now (49%), and that it will
reinforce the place of Europe in the world (44%).
Nearly eight out of 10 people (78%) think that having the euro will make it more
convenient for those who travel in other countries that use the euro, while over
two thirds (67%) say it will make it easier to shop in other countries that use the
currency.
A relative majority of people now think that adopting the euro will mean that their
country will lose control over its economic policy – a reversal of the situation in
2014.
Roughly three quarters of people (74%) are concerned about abusive price
setting during the changeover.
Around eight out of 10 respondents (81%) say that they will manage to adapt to
the replacement of their national currency by the euro.
Opinion is equally divided on the question of whether adopting the euro will mean
that one’s country loses a part of its identity.

I. AWARENESS OF THE EURO
1. CITIZENS’ AWARENESS OF THE EURO AREA AND THE EURO’S
INTRODUCTION
1.1. Awareness of the current number of euro area countries
- Three out of 10 of respondents say correctly that there are 19 euro area
countries -
More than three out of 10 (31%) respondents give the correct answer of 19 when asked
how many EU countries have already introduced the euro3, a result which has been fairly
stable since 2012. The proportion of respondents answering correctly peaked at 32% in
September 2010.
Over half of the respondents (54%, no change) give an incorrect answer: 39% (+3
percentage points since 2014) say that there are 13 euro area countries; 10% (-3pp)
say there are six; and 5% (no change) think there are 28.
3 Q5a According to you, how many EU countries have already introduced the euro?
FLASH EUROBAROMETER 418 “Introduction of the euro in the Member states that have not yet adopted the common currency”
9
Across the seven countries surveyed, the proportion of respondents answering correctly
varies widely, from 42% in Sweden to 24% in Romania. Correct responses remained
relatively static in all seven countries with no more than a two percentage point change
occurring in any country.
It is striking that in all seven countries a relative majority of respondents gave the
incorrect answer of “13”. At least four out of 10 people gave this response in four
countries: the Czech Republic (48%), Hungary (46%), Sweden (44%) and Poland
(40%).
The socio-demographic data show that:
Men are particularly more likely than women (37% vs. 25%) to correctly say that
19 EU countries have already introduced the euro.
Younger respondents are however more likely to answer incorrectly, with 59% of
people aged 15-24 giving an incorrect response, compared to 50% of those aged
55 and older.
Respondents who spent longer in education are more likely to answer correctly:
34% of people who left education aged 20 or over do so, compared with 26% of
those who left aged 15 or below.
Looking at respondents’ occupations, those working as employees (35%) are
more likely to give the correct answer than manual workers (24%).
Generally, respondents who have either seen or used euro banknotes or coins are
more likely to correctly say that there are 19 euro area countries. 35% of
respondents who consider themselves informed about the euro correctly say that
19 Member States have adopted the currency, while only 28% of those who say
they are not well-informed give the right answer.

1.2. Expected date of the euro’s adoption
- Over two thirds of respondents think the euro will be introduced in their
country in the future -
Following on from the question about the number of countries that already use the euro,
the respondents were then asked when they think the euro will be introduced in their
country4.
Over two thirds of the respondents (69%) think that the euro will be introduced in their
country at some time in the future, either in a specific year or later than 2021. Of the
69% who are able to indicate a year, close to half (48%) of the respondents think that
the euro will be introduced in or before 2020: of these, 3% say it will be introduced in
2015-16; 10% think it will happen in 2017-18; and 35% say the euro will be introduced
in 2019-2020. In fact, with the exception of Sweden, around a third gave the year 2020
in each country. Over a fifth (21%) say the euro will be introduced in 2021 or later.
More than one out of 10 (12%) people think that the euro will never be introduced in
their country, while 19% don’t know when it will be introduced.
4 Q5c When, in which year do you think the euro will be introduced in [OUR COUNTRY]?
FLASH EUROBAROMETER 418 “Introduction of the euro in the Member states that have not yet adopted the common currency”

More than eight out of 10 (82%) respondents in Croatia believe the euro will be
introduced at some stage in the future, of which 22% select 2017-2018, 36% identify
2019-2020 as the most likely introduction date, and 22% opt for 2021 or later. Only 6%
of respondents say the euro will never be introduced.
More than eight out of 10 (81%) respondents in Romania think the euro will be
introduced in their country at some point: 5% say the euro will be introduced in 2015-
2016, 13% say 2017-18, around four in ten (41%) select 2019-2020, and 22% choose
2021 or later. Only 3% of people in Romania think that the euro will never be
introduced, while 16% don’t know.
Around three quarters (77%) of people in Hungary think that the euro will be introduced
in the future, with 10% saying 2017-28, 38% saying 2019-2020, and 28% saying the
euro will be introduced in 2021 or later. Just over a tenth (11%) think it will never be
introduced, and 12% don’t know when this might happen.
In Bulgaria, over two thirds (69%) of the respondents think the euro will be introduced
at some point: 17% say it will happen in 2017-18, most (36%) select 2019-2020 as the
most likely introduction date, and 12% say 2021 or later. Just 2% of people in Bulgaria
think the euro will never be introduced, and 29% say they don’t know.
Two thirds of people (67%) in the Czech Republic say the euro will be introduced at
some point in the future: a tenth (10%) think it will take place in 2017-18, 39% think
that 2019-2020 is most likely, and 16% say 2021 or later. However, 20% say the euro
will never be introduced, and 13% don’t know.
In Poland, less than two thirds (65%) of respondents say the euro will be introduced at
some point, with 34% of people selecting 2019-2020 as the most likely introduction
date. Over one third (35%) say the euro will never be introduced (10%) or that they
don’t know (25%).
Sweden does not follow the same pattern as the other six countries: here, only half of
respondents are able to give a timeframe of when they think the euro will be introduced.
More than a third say that they think it will never be introduced (35%) and a significant
proportion are unable to give an answer at all (15%). Of those who think the euro will be
introduced, 2021 or later is the most common answer (27%), while 18% opt for 2019-
2020.

According to the socio-economic data:
Women are slightly more likely to say the euro will be introduced by the year
2020 or earlier.
Respondents aged 15-24 are most likely to say the euro will be introduced in
their country at some time, while people between 40 and 54 are least likely to do
so (74% vs. 65%).
Employees are most likely (72%) to say the euro will be introduced in their
country at some time, compared to 61% of manual workers.
Over eight out of 10 (81%) of those who think the euro has a positive impact in
countries already using it also think the euro will be introduced in their country,
compared to 59% of those who think the euro has a negative impact.

euro5.
Less than a fifth of people (17%) think that their country is ready to introduce the euro,
while over three quarters (79%) say their country is not ready for this.
5 Q5b In your opinion, is (OUR COUNTRY) ready to introduce the euro?
FLASH EUROBAROMETER 418 “Introduction of the euro in the Member states that have not yet adopted the common currency”
16
The proportion of respondents who say their country is ready to introduce the euro
ranges from 27% in Romania to 11% in Poland. Over two thirds of people in all seven
countries think they are not ready, and around eight out of 10 people say this in Poland
(86%), Czech Republic (82%) and Hungary (79%).
The socio-economic data show that:
Men are slightly more likely than women to say that their country is ready to
introduce the euro (19% vs. 16%).
Respondents aged 15-24 (22%) are more likely to say their country is ready to
introduce than those aged 55 and over (15%).
People who left education aged 15 or earlier are more likely to say their country is
ready to introduce the euro than those who left aged 20 or above (28% vs.
14%).
Respondents who say that the impact of the euro in countries already using it has
been positive (25%) are more likely to say that their country is ready for the euro
than those who say the consequences are negative (7%).

1.4. Familiarity with the design of euro banknotes
- Less than half of the respondents think that euro banknotes look exactly the
same across all countries -
Just under half of the respondents (49%, -2 percentage point compared with 2014)
answer correctly that euro banknotes look exactly the same in all countries that use the
euro6. This is the lowest level of correct responses since 2011. There is a corresponding
rise in those answering incorrectly, with 34% (+2pp) saying that euro banknotes have
slightly different designs. A significant proportion of respondents (17%) are unable to
give an answer.
The proportion of respondents answering correctly that the euro banknotes look exactly
the same in all countries that use the euro ranges from 69% in Romania to 37% in
Poland. Over half of the people give the correct answer in Romania (69%, no change),
Croatia (64%, -4pp) and Sweden (54%, no previous data available). Bulgaria is the only
country to have witnessed an increase (49%, +1pp) in the proportion of respondents
who are able to give a correct answer.

More than one third (36%, +1 percentage point since 2014) of respondents say correctly
that euro coins have partly different designs from country to country7, a result that has
remained broadly stable since 2010.
The range of people correctly saying that euro coins have partly different designs from
country to country ranges from close to half in the Czech Republic (47%) to fewer than
one out of five in Romania (19%). The Czech Republic (47%, +3pp) and Hungary (45%,
+2pp) both recorded increases in the proportion of respondents giving the correct
answer, while Bulgaria (30%, -3pp) and Croatia (23%, -2pp) both recorded declines.

2. EXPERIENCE WITH EURO CASH
2.1. Euro banknotes
- The vast majority of respondents have seen and used euro banknotes -
Over nine out 10 people (91%) have seen euro banknotes, and over seven out of 10
(71%) have used euro banknotes. Since 2014, the proportion of respondents who have
seen euro banknotes has remained stable, while those who say they have used euro
banknotes has increased by 2%. The proportion of people who have seen euro
banknotes has remained relatively stable since November 2011, while the proportion
that has used euro banknotes continues to grow steadily from a base of 45% in 2006.
In 2006, a 35 percentage point gap separated those who had seen and actually used
euro banknotes. This has decreased to a low of 20 percentage points in this survey.
The proportion of respondents who have seen euro banknotes ranges from 98% in
Croatia, to 84% in Bulgaria. When looking at the evolution in results since 2014, little
has notably changed. Bulgaria is the main exception which recorded a 4 percentage
point drop in the proportion who have seen euro banknotes.
In terms of usage, results range from 88% of respondents in Croatia, to 61% in
Hungary. The Czech Republic (83%, +5pp) recorded a noticeable increase in the
proportion of people who have used euro banknotes, while Bulgaria (63%, -4pp) and
Romania (76%, -3pp) experienced a slight decline.

The socio-demographic results show that:
Men are more likely than women to have seen (93% vs. 88%) and used (76% vs.
67%) euro banknotes.
People aged between 25 and 39 are more likely to have seen (93% vs. 87%) and
used (81% vs. 61%) euro banknotes than those aged 55 and over.
Turning to education levels, those who left education aged 20 or above are more
likely to have seen (93%) and used (85%) euro banknotes than those who left
education aged 15 or below (75% seen, 61% used).
Self-employed people are very likely to have seen (97%) euro banknotes
compared with those not working (86%), and they are also more likely to have
used euro banknotes (85% vs. 61%).

2.2. Euro coins
- More people than ever have seen and used euro coins -
Euro coins are less widely seen and used than euro banknotes: fewer than nine out of 10
(86%) people have seen euro coins, and only around two-thirds of people (65%) have
actually used them. The proportion of respondents who have seen euro coins has
increased slightly since 2014 (+1 percentage point), while those who say they have used
euro coins has grown to 65% (+3pp). While the proportion of people who have seen
euro coins has remained roughly the same since November 2011, the proportion of
respondents who have used euro coins continues to grow steadily, from a base of 41%
in 2006.
The proportion of respondents who have seen euro coins range from 94% of people in
the Czech Republic, to 78% in Bulgaria. The results in the Czech Republic, Poland,
Hungary and Croatia have all remained broadly stable, while there were declines in
Bulgaria (78%, -3pp) and Romania (83%, -3pp).
The proportion of people who say they have used euro coins ranges from 84% of
respondents in the Czech Republic, to 56% in Bulgaria. In the Czech Republic (84%,
+5pp) the proportion of people who have used euro coins has increased since 2014,
whereas there was a notable decline in Romania (58%, -3pp). In all other countries,
results remain broadly stable.

Men are more likely than women to have seen (89% vs. 82%) and used (70% vs.
61%) euro coins.
People aged 25 to 39 are more likely than those aged 55 and over to have seen
(91% vs. 77%) and used (75% vs. 54%) euro coins.
People living in large towns (69%) are more likely than those living in rural
villages (60%) to have used euro coins.
Employees are more likely to have seen (93%) and used (80%) euro coins than
people who are not working (79% seen, 55% used).
People who consider themselves to be well-informed about the euro are more
likely to have used euro coins than those who do not (78% vs. 655).

2.3. Where do people use the euro?
- Over half of the respondents say they have only used euro banknotes abroad -
People who said they have already used euro banknotes and/or coins were then asked
for more information about where they had used them8.
Over half of the people in this group (57%) say they have used euro banknotes abroad,
an increase of 10% since the last round of the survey in 2014. The proportion of people
who say they have used euro banknotes both abroad and also in their own country has
decreased slightly to 30% (-4 percentage points), marking the end of a general upwards
trend. The proportion saying they have used euro banknotes in their own country has
dropped to 13% (-6pp), the lowest since April 2006.
These changes are most likely due to the new addition of Sweden to the survey. When
Sweden is removed from the average, 51% say they used euro banknotes abroad, 33%
in their country and abroad and 15% just in their country.
Base: Respondents who have used euro banknotes (N=4,993)
The proportion of people who have used euro banknotes abroad only ranges
substantially from 95% in Sweden to 20% in Romania. Besides Sweden, over half of the
respondents have used them abroad only in the Czech Republic (75%), Hungary (65%),
and Poland (62%). Generally, there is a growing trend across all seven countries
surveyed for people to have only used euro banknotes abroad, with the largest increase
occurring in Poland (62%, +7pp). Croatia and Hungary are the only countries to have
remained broadly unchanged since 2014.

People in Romania (80%) are the most likely to say they have used euro banknotes both
abroad and in their own country. A majority of people also say this in Croatia (59%) and
Bulgaria (54%). At the other end of the scale, only 5% of people in Sweden say this.
We can observe a general downward trend in the proportion of respondents who have
used euro banknotes both abroad and in their own country, with Poland (38%, -7pp)
registering the biggest decline since 2014.

Those who left education aged 15 or under are more likely (25%) than those still
studying (8%) to say they have used euro banknotes in their own country.
Self-employed respondents are more likely to say they have used euro banknotes
in their own country and abroad than those not working (50% vs 44%).
People that say they are well-informed about the euro are less likely to say they
have used it in their own country (10%) than those who say they are not
informed (17%).

- Close to three quarters of people have only used euro coins abroad -
Nearly three quarters of the respondents (72%) say they have only used euro coins
abroad, an increase of 8% since April 20149. The proportion of people who say they have
used euro coins both abroad and also in their own country has dropped to 21% (-4
percentage points), while only 7% of people (-4pp) say that they have used euro coins
in their own country only.
Similarly to what was seen with the pattern with euro banknotes, Sweden has again
influenced the average percentage. When Sweden is removed, 68% say that they have
used euro coins abroad, 23% in their country and abroad and 9% just in their country.
Regardless, this still demonstrates that has been a slight positive trend in the proportion
who have used the currency abroad this wave (+4pp).
Base: Respondents who have used euro coins (N=4,586)
A majority of the respondents in all seven countries say they have only used euro coins
abroad, with results ranging from 97% in Sweden to 53% in Romania. There have been
sizeable increases in Romania (+10pp) and Poland (+5pp) in the proportion of people
giving this answer since 2014. The swing in Romania means that for the first time a
majority of people there have only used euro coins abroad: 53% have only used them
abroad and 46% have used them both abroad and in their own country, compared with
2014 when only 43% had use euro coins abroad only and 57% had used them both
abroad and at home.

II. INFORMING CITIZENS ABOUT THE EURO
1. SELF-PERCEIVED LEVEL OF INFORMATION
- The proportion of respondents who feel well informed about the
euro is higher than ever before -
When asked whether they feel well informed about the euro10, a majority of respondents
say that they do not feel well informed: 54% say this, compared with 44% who do feel
well informed. However, the proportion of people who feel well informed is at an all-time
high: 42% felt well informed in 2014, and 37% felt well informed in 2007.
Of those who say they feel well informed, 37% feel rather well informed, while 7% feel
very well informed. In contrast, 44% of people feel not very well informed, and 10% feel
not at all well informed.
Sweden (59% vs. 41%) and the Czech Republic (50% vs. 48%) are the only countries
where at least half of respondents feel well informed about the euro. Elsewhere, a
substantial majority of respondents say they are not well informed about it: Bulgaria
(65% vs. 33%), Hungary (59% vs. 40%), Romania (58% vs. 41%), Poland (55% vs.
43%), and Croatia (53% vs. 46%). The proportion of people who do not feel well
informed has increased since 2014 in Bulgaria (+4 percentage points) and Poland
(+2pp), whereas it declined in Romania (-5pp) and Croatia (-4pp).

informed, as opposed to 27% of people who left school aged 15 or under.
While 48% of people who live in large towns feel well informed about the euro,
only 40% of those who live in rural villages say this.
At least half of self-employed people (53%) and employed people (50%) feel well
informed about the euro, whereas a minority of people who are not working
(40%) and manual workers (41%) do so.
Respondents who have already seen and used euro banknotes and coins are a lot

2. TIMING, CHANNELS AND CONTENT OF INFORMATION
2.1. Timing for the receipt of information about the euro
- A higher proportion of respondents than in previous surveys would like to
receive information a few years before the introduction of the euro -
Respondents were asked when they would like to be informed about the introduction of
the euro in their country11. Over a third of respondents (37%, +6 percentage points
since 2014) say they would like to receive information a few years before – this is the
highest proportion of respondents to have given this answer over the lifetime of the
survey. Over a quarter of people (28%, -2pp) would like to receive information about the
introduction of the euro as soon as possible, while a quarter (25%, -3pp) would like to
receive it a few months before. Just 5% (-1pp) would like some information a few weeks
before.
Again, the addition of Sweden has had an effect on the average. When removed, 35%
across the six countries say that they would like to be informed a few years before.
11 Q7: When would you like to be informed about the introduction of euro in (OUR COUNTRY)?
FLASH EUROBAROMETER 418 “Introduction of the euro in the Member states that have not yet adopted the common currency”

The proportion of people who would like to receive information about the introduction of
the euro as early as possible ranges from 33% in Romania to 18% in Hungary.
Looking at the combined totals of people who want to receive information as early as
possible or at least a few years before, the results range from 75% in Sweden to 52% in
Hungary. Sweden (51%) has the highest proportion of people who would like to receive
it a few years before, while Croatia (30%) has the lowest.
People in Hungary (44%) are the most likely to want to receive information only weeks
or months before the introduction of the euro, while those in Sweden (19%) are the
least likely.
On average, the proportion of respondents who want to receive information as soon as
possible has declined since 2014 (28%, -2 percentage points). However, the Czech
Republic (23%, +3pp) noticeably bucked this trend.

According to the socio-demographic data:
Respondents aged 15-24 (37%) are the most likely to want to receive
information about the introduction of the euro as soon as possible, while those
aged 55 and over (21%) are the least likely to do so. In contrast, those aged
55 and over are the most likely to want to receive information a few years
before (40% vs. 30% of 15-24 year-olds).
People who finished their education aged 20 or over are more likely than
those who finished aged 15 or below to want to receive information a few
years before (41% vs. 29%).
Among the occupational groups, manual workers (31%) are most likely to
want to receive information only a few months before, while self-employed
people (19%) are the least likely to want this. Self-employed people are the
most likely to want to receive it as soon as possible (34% vs. 25% of manual
workers and people who are not working).

2.2. Trusted distributors of information on the euro
- There has been a decline in the proportion of people who trust
information about the euro from their National Central Bank and
from European institutions –
Respondents were then asked whether they would trust information provided by eight
specific institutions of groups on the changeover to the euro12.
While over half of the respondents say they would trust information from their National
Central Bank (70%, -6 percentage points compared with 2014), or from European
institutions (53%, -6pp), there has been a notable decline in the level of trust placed in
both.
Over four out of 10 people would trust information from their government, national or
regional authorities (45%, -2pp), from tax or fiscal administrations (44%, +1pp), or
from consumer associations (42%, no change). Just over a third of respondents would
trust information about the euro from commercial banks (35%, -5pp), from trade unions
and other professional organisations (27%, -2pp), or from journalists (25%, -3pp).
The National Central Bank is the most trusted source of information about the
changeover to the euro in six of the seven countries, the exception being Croatia. The
degree of trust expressed in the central banks ranges from 87% in Sweden to 47% in
Croatia. Since 2014 the level of trust placed in the National Central Bank has declined
markedly in Bulgaria (56%, -18pp), Poland (61%, -15pp), and Hungary (67%, -9pp).

provide on the changeover to the euro? (MULTIPLE ANSWERS POSSIBLE)

As will be seen throughout this section, people in Sweden generally express a high level
of trust in their institutions, while those in Croatia tend to have relatively little trust.
People in Sweden are also the most likely to show trust in government, national or
regional authorities (74%), tax/fiscal administrations (84%), consumer associations
(64%), and trade unions (42%). The level of trust is also consistently high relative to the
remaining five countries in the Czech Republic.
European institutions are the most trusted source of information in Croatia (49%),
although the level of trust in these institutions is highest in Romania (62%), and lowest
in Poland (44%). People in Croatia (49%, +7pp) are more likely to trust European
institutions now than they were in 2014, but in contrast the level of trust in these
institutions has fallen sharply in Poland (44%, -14pp), Hungary (59%, -6pp), and
Bulgaria (55%, -5pp).
The level of trust shown in the information provided by government, national or regional
authorities ranges from 74% in Sweden to 27% in Croatia. While trust in these
authorities has risen since 2014 in Romania (46%, +5), it has declined substantially in
Hungary (62%, -19pp), and Poland (35%, -11pp).
While 84% of people in Sweden say they would trust information provided by tax or
fiscal administrations, only 27% of respondents in Croatia and 29% of those in Poland
say this. Respondents in Romania (44%, +6pp) are more likely to trust information
provided by tax or fiscal administrations than they were in 2014, but the level of trust in
these has fallen since then in Poland (29%, -10pp), Bulgaria (34%, -9pp), and Hungary
(51%, -6pp).
Nearly two-thirds of people in Sweden (64%), but only one-third of those in Poland
(33%) trust the information provided by consumer associations. While respondents in
Croatia (46%, +7pp) are more likely to trust consumer associations now than they were
in 2014, the degree of trust shown in these groups has fallen in Hungary (44%, -13pp),
Bulgaria (37%, -6pp), and Poland (33%, -6pp).
People in the Czech Republic (59%) are the most likely to say they would trust
information provided by commercial banks. In contrast, only a fifth of people in Croatia
and Poland (both 20%) would trust information about the changeover to the euro from
commercial banks. The level of trust shown in these institutions has declined since 2014
in Hungary (39%, -12pp), Bulgaria (32%, -12pp), and Poland (20%, -10pp).
While 42% of respondents in Sweden say they trust information provided by trade
unions, only 21% of people in Croatia would do so. Despite this, the level of trust shown
by people in Croatia (21%, +5pp) has actually increased since 2014, although it also
declined in Hungary (27%, -9pp) and Poland (23%, -5pp).
Trust in the information provided by journalists on this subject is uniformly low, ranging
from 33% in Romania to 17% in both Croatia and Hungary. Poland (22%, -9pp) was the
only country where the level of trust in journalists has changed substantially since 2014.

According to the socio-demographic results:
Women are more likely than men to trust some of the sources of information
under discussion, including government, national or regional authorities (48% vs.
43%), tax or fiscal administrations (46% vs. 41%), European institutions (55%
vs. 51%) and commercial banks (37% vs. 33%).
Younger respondents express a higher level of trust in most of the groups or
institutions under discussion. For example, 64% of 15-24 year-olds say they
would trust information from European institutions, compared with only 44% of
people aged 55 and over. However, they are the least likely to trust the
information provided by journalists (20% vs. 28% of people aged 40-54).
Respondents who finished their education aged 20 or over are more inclined to
trust most sources of information, such as their National Central Bank (71% vs.
61% of those who left school aged 15 or under).
Employees express the highest levels of trust in most groups and institutions, the
only exception being journalists and trade unions. Manual workers (33% vs. 20%
of self-employed people) are the most likely to trust trade unions.
People who have already seen or used euro coins and banknotes, and who think
the euro has or will have a positive impact, are more likely to trust most of the
sources of information about the changeover to the euro.

2.3. Preferred channels for information campaign
- The television and the Internet are considered the most useful means of
receiving information about the euro -
The discussion now shifts from sources of information to the media through which
information about the euro and the changeover might be received, with the respondents
asked which of these channels would be most useful13.
Seven out of 10 respondents (70%, -1 percentage point compared with 2014) think it
would be the most useful to receive information on television, while just under six out of
10 (58%, -2pp) think it would be most useful to receive information on the Internet.
Just under half of the respondents say that it would be useful to receive this information
in banks (48%, -5pp), on the radio (47%, -3pp), or in newspapers and magazines (45%,
-2pp). Roughly four out of 10 people say that schools and other places of education and
training (41%, -3pp) or their own letterbox (40%, +2pp) would be the most useful ways
to receive this information.
Around three out of 10 people think that it would be useful to get information about the
euro in public places (32%, -4pp) or in the workplace (28%, -2pp), while 17% of
respondents (-2pp) think that supermarkets and shops would be the most useful places
to receive it.

In six out of the seven countries, a majority of people think that television is the most
useful way of receiving information about the euro and the changeover. The Czech
Republic is the one exception. The proportion of people who think television is most
useful in this regard ranges from 74% in Romania to 58% in Hungary, though there
have been declines in the proportion who say this since 2014 in the Czech Republic
(65%, -5pp) and Poland (72%, -4pp).
In the Czech Republic (73%) people are most likely to see banks as the most useful
place to receive information about the euro. At the other end of the scale only 38% of
respondents in Croatia and Hungary say this. People in Poland (44%, -13pp) are much
less likely than they were in 2014 to think that banks are useful for this.
The Internet is seen as the second most useful source of information in all seven
countries, with 69% of people in the Czech Republic, but only 44% in Croatia, finding the
Internet useful. The proportion of people who think the Internet is the most useful way
to receive information about the euro has fallen since 2014 in both Poland (61%, -8pp)
and Bulgaria (51%, -5pp).
Sweden (58%) and Poland (51%) are the only countries where at least half of the
respondents think that it would be useful to receive this information on the radio.
Respondents in Poland (51%, -8pp) and the Czech Republic (49%, -7pp) are less likely
to say this now than they were in 2014.
Over six out of 10 people in Sweden (63%), but only 28% of those in Croatia, think it
would be useful to receive this information in newspapers and magazines. Once again,
respondents in Poland (46%, -11pp) are much less likely than they were in 2014 to think
that this would be a useful way of receiving information about the euro.
Over half of people in the Czech Republic (51%), but only about a fifth of those in
Hungary (21%) say that schools and other places of education would be useful places to
receive this information. While more people in Croatia (25%, +5pp) think this would be
useful than did so in 2014, fewer do so in Poland (46%, -10pp).
People in Sweden (65%) are by far the most inclined to think that receiving this
information in their letterbox would be useful. Only around a quarter of respondents in
Croatia (27%) take this view. Less than four out of 10 people in all seven countries think
that it would be useful to receive information about the euro and the changeover in
public places, in the workplace, or in supermarkets and shops.

Women find some of the ways of receiving information more useful than men,
including banks (50% vs. 45%), schools (44% vs. 39%) and their letterbox (43%
vs. 37%). But men are more likely to say that the Internet is useful (61% vs.

Younger respondents are the most likely to think it would be useful to receive
information in banks, in public places, schools, the workplace, and the Internet.
For example, 69% of 15-24 year-olds, but only 43% of people aged 55 and over,

2.4. Most favoured topics of information campaigns
- A majority of people see all six proposed elements of the information
campaign as essential -
Respondents were then asked which issues about the euro it would be essential to cover
in any information campaign about the currency14.
More than seven out of 10 people think that five of the six suggested options would be
essential. These are the value of one euro in the national currency (77%, -2pp compared
with 2014), the social, economic or political implications of the euro (75%, +2pp), the
practical implications of the euro regarding one’s salary or bank account (75%, -2pp),
the way the euro will be introduced (74%, -1pp), and how to ensure that the rule for the
currency conversion into the euro are respected (71%, -1pp).
The sixth option, what euro notes and coins look like (57%, -4pp), is seen as being
somewhat less essential.
The country-level results are strikingly consistent: in all six cases people in the Czech
Republic are the most likely to say that it is essential to include the item under
discussion, and in all six cases people in Croatia are the least likely to do so.
At least two-thirds of people in all countries think it is essential to include the value of
one euro in their national currency in the information campaign: 86% of people in the
Czech Republic say this, while 67% of those in Croatia do so. In Poland (78%), Hungary
(75%), Romania (74%) and Croatia (67%) respondents regard this as the most
essential thing to include. The proportion who think it is essential to include the value of
one euro in their national currency has increased since 2014 in Croatia (67%, +6pp) and
Romania (74%, +5pp), while falling in Poland (78%, -9pp) and Bulgaria (71%, -5pp).

At least around seven out of 10 people in all countries except Croatia (48%) think that
the practical implications of the euro are essential to include. 83% of people in the Czech
Republic think that this should be included. People in Poland (77%, -9pp) are less likely
to say this now than they were in 2014.
In Poland and Sweden (both 78%) the social, economic or political implications of the
euro are seen as the most essential things to include in the information campaign. 86%
of people in the Czech Republic say this, but only 39% of those in Croatia. The
proportion of people who give this answer has increased since 2014 in Romania (71%,
+8pp), Croatia (39%, +7pp), and Hungary (70%, +6pp), while declining in Bulgaria
(71%, -5pp) and Poland (78%, -5pp).
The way the euro will be introduced is regarded as the most essential thing to include in
the Czech Republic (88%), Bulgaria (74%) and Romania (74%). More respondents think
this is essential now than in 2014 in Croatia (55%, +8pp) and Hungary (68%, +6pp),
though fewer do in Poland (72%, -11pp).
How to ensure that the rules for currency conversion are respected is the joint top
answer in both Sweden (78%) and Romania (74%). The proportion of people who see
this as essential increased in Croatia (50%, +10pp) and Romania (74%, +7pp), but
declined in Poland (71%, -9pp) and Bulgaria (67%, -6pp).
At least half of the respondents in five countries think that it is essential to include what
notes and coins look like, the two exceptions being Croatia (25%) and Sweden (41%).
People in Romania (63%, +9pp) and Hungary (60%, +5pp) are more likely to say this
now than in 2014, while those in Poland (59%, -11pp) and the Czech Republic (66%,

below think the social, economic and political implications of the euro are
essential to include in the information campaign, compared with 53% of people
who finished their education aged 15 or below.

2.5. Main activities and events essential to be included in an information
campaign
- Dual displays of process and amounts on bills are seen as the most essential
thing to include in an information campaign -
Lastly in this section, respondents were asked which information campaign actions they
consider essential15.
Seven out of 10 respondents (70%, -2pp compared with 2014) think that the dual
display of prices in shops is essential. At least six out of 10 people also say this with

proportion of respondents who say this has increased since 2014 in Romania (79%,
+5pp), while declining in Poland (61%, -6pp).
Respondents in Hungary (81%) are also the most likely to say that the dual display of
amounts on bills is essential, while people in Poland (56%) are again the least likely to
think this. As before, there has been an increase since 2014 in the proportion of
respondents who deem this essential in Romania (76%, +5pp), and a decline in Poland
(56%, -5pp).

Respondents in the Czech Republic (76%) are the most likely to think that activity on the
Internet or social media is essential. At least half of the respondents in the seven
countries think this is essential, with the exception of Croatia (46%).
People in Hungary (73%) are the most likely, and those in Croatia (55%) the least likely
to feel that the dual display of prices of pay slips is essential. As for TV advertisements,
respondents in Romania (73%) are the most inclined to say that these are essential,
while those in the Czech Republic and Hungary (both 49%) are the least likely to do so.
While six out of 10 people in both Poland and Romania (60%) feel that newspaper
advertisements are essential, only 35% of people in Hungary and 36% in Croatia take
this view. There was also an increase in Romania (60%, +5pp) in the proportion of
respondents who regard this as essential.
Roughly six out of 10 people in both Romania (59%) and Poland (58%) also think that
radio advertisements are essential, though only 37% of people in Sweden agree. There
was in increase in the proportion of people who think radio advertisements are essential
in Croatia (39%, +6pp) and Hungary (40%, +5pp), but also a decline in Poland (58%, -
5pp).
Romania (57%) and Poland (52%) are the only countries where at least half of the
respondents think that leaflets or brochures are essential. Only 28% of people in both
Croatia and Hungary say this. More people in Romania (57%, +5pp) deem leaflets or
brochures to be essential than did so in 2014.

The socio-demographic data show that:
Women are somewhat more likely than men to think that dual displays on pay
slips (66% vs. 61%), and leaflets or brochures (50% vs. 43%) are essential.
People aged 25-39 are the most likely to think that the dual display of prices in
shops is essential (76% vs. 61% of 15-24 year-olds), and also that activities on
the Internet or social media are essential (73% vs. 55% of people aged 55 and
over).
Respondents who finished their education aged 20 or over are substantially more
inclined to say that activities on the Internet or social media are essential (69%
vs. 46% of people who left school aged 15 or below).
People who expect positive consequences from joining the euro, or who are in
favour of joining, are more likely to say that TV advertisements are essential.

III. THE EURO: PERCEPTIONS AND SUPPORT FOR ITS
INTRODUCTION
1. CONSEQUENCES OF THE EURO’S INTRODUCTION
1.1. Consequences at a national level
- More people think the introduction of the euro in their country would have
negative consequences than did so in 2014 -
In the third section of the report, respondents are asked about the consequences of the
introduction of the euro in their country16.
Over four out of 10 people (41%, -3 percentage points compared with 2014) say the
consequences of introducing the euro would be positive for their country: of these 6%
(-1pp) say they would be very positive, and 35% (-2pp) rather positive. This is still some
way above the all-time low recorded in November 2011 and September 2005, when only
38% of respondents thought the euro would have positive consequences. Expectations
peaked in May 2009, when 55% of respondents thought the euro would have positive
consequences.
Over half of the respondents (53%, +3pp) think that the introduction of the euro would
be negative for their country, with 36% (+1pp) saying it would be rather negative, and
17% (+2pp) expecting it to be very negative.
16 Q13 Do you think the introduction of the euro would have positive or negative consequences for…?

57
Romania (54% positive vs. 39% negative) and Hungary (50% positive vs. 44%
negative) are the only two countries where at least half think the euro would have
positive consequences for their country. Elsewhere, the expectation is that the
consequences would be negative, especially in the Czech Republic (70% negative vs.
26% positive) and Sweden (62% vs. 31%).
In Bulgaria (40%, +4pp) the proportion of people who say the euro will have positive
consequences has increased since 2014, while in Romania (54%, -3pp) it decreased.
Hungary (44%, +3pp) registered the largest increase in the proportion of respondents
who think the euro will have negative consequences.

According to the socio-demographic data:
Men are more likely than women to say that the introduction of the euro will have
positive consequences for their country (44% vs 38%).
People aged between 15 and 24 are more likely (56%) than those aged 55 and
over (49%) to say that the introduction of the euro will have negative
consequences for their country.
People living in large towns are more likely than those in rural villages to say that
the introduction of the euro will have a positive impact (45% vs. 39%).
Employees are more likely than manual workers to say that the consequences of
the introduction of the euro will have positive consequences (45% vs. 39%).
Generally, people who have already seen and used euro banknotes and coins are
more likely to say that there will be negative consequences from the introduction
of the euro.

1.2. Personal consequences of the euro’s introduction
- A relative majority of people think that the introduction of the euro will have
negative personal consequences -
Following the question about the consequences of the introduction of the euro in their
own country, people were then asked about the consequences of introducing the
currency for them personally.
Over four out of 10 people (44%, -1 percentage point compared with 2014) say that the
introduction of the euro will have positive personal consequences, with 37% (no change)
saying the consequences will be rather positive, and 7% (-1pp) saying they will be very
positive.
A relative majority of people (47%, +1pp) thinks that the personal consequences will be
negative, with 32% (no change) expecting them to be rather negative, and 15% (+1pp)
expecting them to be very negative.
More than half of the respondents in Romania (59%) and Hungary (53%) say the
introduction of the euro will have positive personal consequences, compared to just 30%
of people in the Czech Republic. The proportion of respondents expecting the euro to
have positive personal consequences has increased since 2014 in Bulgaria (42%, +3pp),
and decreased in Romania (59%, -5pp).
But in the other five countries, more people think that the introduction of the euro will
have negative personal consequences, than those who don't, with people in the Czech
Republic most likely (63%) to say this. Croatia (47%, +3pp) registered the largest
increase in the proportion of people anticipating negative personal consequences from
the introduction of the euro.

2. SUPPORT FOR THE SINGLE CURRENCY
2.1. Opinions within the respondents’ social environment
- People are split almost equally over the issue of whether to introduce the euro
in their country -
Having discussed the likely consequences of introducing the euro, respondents were then
asked whether they are in favour of or against the idea of introducing the euro in their
own country17.
A relative majority of respondents (49%) are in favour of introducing the euro – down
from 52% in 2014. Of these, 12% (-2 percentage points) are very much in favour, and
37% (-1pp) are rather in favour of introducing the euro.
Close to half of the respondents (48%, +3pp) are against introducing the euro in their
country: of these, 28% (+1pp) say they are rather against introducing the euro, and
20% (+2pp) say they are very much against it.
A majority of people are in favour of introducing the euro in four countries: Romania
(68%), Hungary (60%), Bulgaria (55%) and Croatia (53%). But in the remaining three
countries a majority of people are against the idea: Poland (53% against vs. 44% in
favour), Sweden (66% vs. 32%), and the Czech Republic (70% vs. 29%).
17 Q14 Generally speaking, are you personally more in favour or against the idea of introducing the euro in
(OUR COUNTRY)?
FLASH EUROBAROMETER 418 “Introduction of the euro in the Member states that have not yet adopted the common currency”
66
Since 2014, there has been a substantial increase in the level of support for introducing
the euro in the Czech Republic (29%, +13pp), with a slight increase occurring in
Bulgaria (55%, +4pp). But at the same time there were declines in the proportion of
respondents in favour of introducing the currency in Romania (68%, -6pp) and Hungary
(60%, -4pp).
The socio-demographic data show that:
Women are more likely than men to be against the introduction of the euro (53%
vs. 42%).
People aged 15-24 are more likely than those aged 55 and over to be against the
introduction of the euro in their country (50% vs. 44%).
Self-employed people and employees (both 52%) are more likely than manual
workers (38%) to be in favour of the introduction of the euro.
People who think the euro has a positive impact in countries that already use it
are unsurprisingly more likely (73%) to say that they support the introduction of
the euro than those who think the euro has a negative impact (18%).

2.2. The most desired timeframe for the adoption of the euro
- Romania is the only country in which respondents favour the early adoption
of the euro -
After being asked whether they were in favour of introducing the euro, participants were
then asked when they would like the euro to become their currency18.
Over four out of 10 respondents (42%) want the euro to be introduced as late as
possible, up slightly from 41% in 2014. Over a third of respondents (36%, +1
percentage point) would like the euro to become their currency after a certain time, and
fewer than one out of five (18%, -2pp) want the euro to be introduced as soon as
possible.
Romania is the only country where a relative majority of people want the euro to be
introduced as soon as possible: 40% favour this, while only 22% want it to be
introduced as late as possible.
But in the other six countries most would like the currency to be introduced as late as
possible, with the Czech Republic (63%) and Sweden (61%) having the highest
proportions of respondents who take this view.
The proportion of respondents in Romania (40%, -4pp) in favour of joining as soon as
possible declined, while the proportion wanting to join as late as possible declined in the
Czech Republic (63%, -4pp) and Bulgaria (30%, -3pp).

IV. CONSEQUENCES OF ADOPTING THE EURO
1. THE CONSEQUENCES IN GENERAL
- Over half of the respondents think that the impact of euro has been positive in
the countries that have already adopted it -
In this final section of the report, respondents were first asked what impact the
introduction of the euro has had in the countries already using it19.
A majority of people feel the impact has been positive: 51% take this view, although of
these most (46%) think the impact has been rather positive, with only 5% saying it has
been very positive. Over a third of respondents (36%) think that the impact has been
negative, with 28% saying it has been fairly negative, and 8% very negative.
There has been relatively little change since 2014: the proportion of respondents who
think the impact of the euro has been positive has declined slightly (-1 percentage
point), while the proportion who says it has been negative also declined slightly (-1pp).
There was a small increase in the proportion of people who say they don’t know what the
impact has been (13%, +2pp).
At individual country level, the data show that in four countries a majority of people
think the impact of the euro has been positive: Hungary (61% positive vs. 26%
negative), Romania (60% vs. 27%), Bulgaria (53% vs. 30%), and Poland (53% vs.
34%). But in the other three countries at least a relative majority say it has been
negative: the Czech Republic (53% vs. 39%), Croatia (47% vs. 42%) and Sweden (47%
vs. 36%).
19 Q12 What impact do you think the introduction of the euro has had in the countries that are already using
the euro?

The proportion of respondents who think the impact of the euro has been positive has
increased since 2014 in Bulgaria (53%, +3pp) but has remained broadly stable
elsewhere.

According to the socio-demographic data:
Young people are more likely to think the impact has been positive: 63% of 15-
24 year-olds say this, compared with 47-48% of people aged 40 and over.
Unsurprisingly, people who think the consequences of the euro will be positive in
their own country or for them personally are far more likely to say the
consequences have been positive elsewhere.
Over three quarters of people (77%) who are in favour of the euro in their own
country think the consequences have been positive elsewhere, compared with
only 27% of respondents who are against its introduction.

2. POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES OF INTRODUCING THE EURO
2.1. Will the changeover to the euro increase prices?
- The majority of people think the euro will cause prices to go up -
When considering the potential consequences of introducing the euro, respondents were
first asked what impact, if any, the euro will have on prices in their country20. Over six
out of 10 people (63%, -2 percentage points compared with 2014), while a quarter of
respondents (25%, +1pp) say that introducing the euro will help keep prices stable. Only
6% of respondents (+1pp) think the euro will help to reduce prices.
At least a relative majority of people in all seven countries think that introducing the
euro will increase prices, with the proportion who believe this ranging from 73% in the
Czech Republic and 70% in Poland, to 47% in Romania and 53% in Hungary. Hungary
(53%, +3pp) is the only country where the proportion of respondents who think the euro
will increase prices has gone up since 2014. It declined in several other countries,
notably in Poland (70%, -6pp).
Roughly a third of people in Hungary (35%) and Romania (32%) say that the euro will
help keep prices stable. Romania (13%) is the only country where at least a tenth of
respondents believe that the euro will help reduce prices.

Two-thirds (66%) of respondents who finished their education aged 20 and over
think the euro will increase prices, compared with 53% of people who finished
their education aged 15 or below.
83% of people who think the euro has had negative consequences in the
countries already using it say that prices will increase, compared with only 48%
of respondents who think it has had positive consequences in those countries.
Only around four out of 10 respondents (42%) who are in favour of the
introduction of the euro think it will cause prices to increase, compared with 84%
of people who are against it.

2.2. Favourable political and economic consequences of the euro
- Around half of the respondents think that adopting the euro will make them
feel more European than they do now -
When asked what they think the adoption of the euro will do for their country21, over
four out of 10 respondents think that it will make them feel more European than they do
now (49%, -1 percentage point compared with 2014), and that it will reinforce the place
of Europe in the world (44%, -6pp).
Over three out of 10 people think that the euro will improve growth and employment
(33%, no change), will ensure sounder public finances (32%, -3pp), will ensure lower
interest rates and less debt charges (31%, -5pp), and will ensure low inflation rates
(31%, -3pp).
Over a fifth of respondents (22%, +4pp) don’t know what the adoption of the euro
would mean.
In four of the seven countries over half of the respondents think that the euro will make
them feel more European than they do now: Romania (58%), Poland (54%), Bulgaria
(52%), and Sweden (50%). But this is not the case in the Czech Republic (32%),
Hungary (35%), and Croatia (43%). The proportion of respondents who think the euro
will make them feel more European than they do now has increased noticeably since
2014 in Bulgaria (52%, +6pp).

Romania (59%) is the only country in which over half of the respondents think that
adopting the euro will reinforce the place of Europe in the world. At the other end of the
scale, only 27% of people in Croatia and 38% in the Czech Republic think the euro will
have this effect. People in Poland (40%, -10pp) and the Czech Republic (38%, -9pp) are
much less likely to think this will happen than they were in 2014.
More than four out of 10 people in Romania (44%) and Hungary (41%) think that
adopting the euro will improve growth and employment, whereas only 19% of
respondents in Croatia think this would be the case.
Respondents in Romania (48%) and Bulgaria (40%) are the most inclined to think that
adopting the euro will ensure sounder public finances. Only 15% of people in Sweden
and 24% in the Czech Republic think this would happen.
Respondents in Romania (48%) are the most likely to think that adopting the euro will
ensure lower interest rates and less debt charges. In contrast, only 11% of people in
Sweden and 20% of those in the Czech Republic think adopting the euro would do this.
People in Poland (28%, -6pp) are less likely to think this would happen now than they
were in 2014.
While 45% of people in Romania and 36% in Hungary say that adopting the euro will
ensure low inflation rates, only 17% of people in Sweden think that this would be the
outcome. Respondents in Poland (27%, -6pp) are less likely to say that the euro would
do this now than they were in 2014.
A relatively high proportion of respondents say they don’t know what joining the euro
would mean, especially in the Czech Republic (35%) and Sweden (30%).
FLASH EUROBAROMETER 418 “Introduction of the euro in the Member states that have not yet adopted the common currency”

According to the socio-demographic data:
Men are more likely than women to think that adopting the euro would have all
six outcomes. For example, 35% of men, but only 28% of women, think the euro
would ensure lower interest rates and less debt charges.
People aged 55 and over (37%) are more likely than younger respondents
(28-32%) to say that adopting the euro would ensure sounder public finances.
Unsurprisingly, people who expect the consequences of the euro to be positive for
themselves or for their country are much more likely to think that the adoption of
the euro will result in all six outcomes.
People in favour of joining the euro are also more likely to think that all six things
will happen: for example, 67% of people in favour say that joining the euro will
make them feel more European than they do now, compared with 32% of people
who are against adopting the currency.

3. PRACTICAL CONSEQUENCES OF THE EURO CHANGEOVER
- Respondents primarily think that having the euro will make it easier to travel
and shop in other euro area countries -
In terms of the practical consequences of the euro22, over three quarters of people
(78%, -3 percentage points since 2014) believe that the currency will make it more
convenient for those who travel in other countries that use the euro, while around two-
thirds think it will make it easier to shop in other countries that use the euro (67%,
-3pp), and to compare prices with other countries that use the euro (65%, +1pp).
Over half of the respondents say that the euro will help them save money by eliminating
currency exchange fees (59%, -4pp), and that it will further strengthen their place in the
EU (52%). Roughly three out of 10 people think the euro will protect their country from
the effects of national crises (31%, -4pp).
Over six out of 10 respondents in all countries think that the euro will make it more
convenient for those who travel in other countries that use the euro: the proportion of
people who say this ranges from 88% in both the Czech Republic and Sweden, to 62% in
Croatia. The proportion of respondents who take this view has declined noticeably since
2014 in Poland (74%, -10pp).
Over seven out of 10 people in the Czech Republic (77%), Hungary (72%) and Sweden
(71%) say that having the euro will make it easier to shop in other countries that use
the euro. In contrast, only 52% of respondents in Croatia believe that this is the case.
Again, there was a decline in Poland (65%, -8pp) in the proportion of respondents who
think this.
More than seven out of 10 people in Sweden (75%) and Hungary (71%) think having the
currency will make it easier to compare prices with other countries that use the euro,
whereas only around half of the respondents in Croatia (53%) say this.

FLASH EUROBAROMETER 418 “Introduction of the euro in the Member states that have not yet adopted the common currency”

Seven out of 10 people in the Czech Republic (70%), but less than half of those in
Croatia (45%), say that the euro will help them save money by eliminating currency
exchange fees. While the proportion of respondents who expect this to happen has
increased since 2014 in Croatia (45%, +5pp), it has declined substantially in Poland
(52%, -17pp).
About three quarters of people in Romania (74%) think that the euro will further
strengthen their place in the EU – substantially more than in the other six countries. Less
than half of the respondents think that this would happen in Croatia (40%), the Czech
Republic (42%), Poland (45%) and Sweden (46%).
However, in all countries less than half of the respondents believe that joining the euro
will protect their country from international crises, with the proportion who think it will
ranging from 42% in Romania to 16% in Sweden. Respondents in Poland (30%, -5pp)
and Hungary (33%, -4pp) are less likely to expect this than they were in 2014.
FLASH EUROBAROMETER 418 “Introduction of the euro in the Member states that have not yet adopted the common currency”
81
According to the socio-demographic data:
Men are somewhat more likely than women (33% vs. 28%) to think that the euro
will protect their country from the effects of international crises.
Younger respondents are more likely to expect that most of the six outcomes will
occur. For example, 74% of 15-24 year-olds, but only 58% of people aged 55
and over, believe that the euro will allow them to easily compare prices with
other countries that use the euro.
Individuals with a higher level of education are more likely think that the euro will
cause these things to happen, with one exception: people who left school aged 19
or under are more likely to think that the euro will protect their country from the
effects of international crises (34% vs. 29%).
People who have already seen or used euro coins or banknotes are more likely to
expect most of these outcomes.
Similarly people who expect the euro to have positive consequences, or who
favour joining the currency, are more likely to anticipate these six results.

4. POTENTIAL INCONVENIENCES OF THE INTRODUCTION OF THE EURO
- While a strong majority of respondents say they will personally manage to
adapt to the new currency, a relative majority thinks that adopting the euro will
mean that their country will lose control over its economic policy -
Four statements about the potential of introducing the euro were read to the
respondents and they were asked to agree or disagree with them23.
Over eight out of 10 respondents (81%) agree that they will personally manage to adapt
to the replacement of their national currency by the euro. Less than a fifth of people
(17%) disagree. This question was not previously included in the survey.
Roughly three quarters of respondents (74%, +3 percentage points compared with
2014) agree that they are concerned about abusive price setting during the changeover.
Nearly a quarter of people (23%, -4pp) disagree.
Just under half of the respondents (48%, no change) agree that adopting the euro will
mean that their country loses part of its identity. The same proportion of respondents
(48%, -1pp) disagrees with this.
Nearly half of people (47%, +5pp) agree that adopting the euro will mean that their
country will lose control over its economic policy. Almost as many respondents (46%,
-7pp) disagree with this. This result is a noticeable turnaround from 2014, when a
sizeable majority of respondents (53% vs. 42%) did not think the euro would mean a
loss of control over economic policy.

4.1. Concerns regarding abuses and cheating on prices during the
changeover
- Around three quarters are concerned about abusive price setting during the
changeover -
The proportion of respondents who agree that they are concerned about abusive price
setting during the changeover has risen to 74% since 2014, when 71% of people
agreed. This is consistent with recent results: since 2008, between 71% and 75% of
respondents have agreed with this statement. The level of agreement had previously
dipped to 67% in 2007.
At least two-thirds of people in all seven countries agree that they are concerned about
abusive price setting during the changeover. The level of agreement ranges from 84% in
Bulgaria to 65% in Sweden. The proportion of respondents who agree has increased
since 2014 in Romania (73%, +8pp), Bulgaria (84%, +6pp), and Hungary (69%, +5pp).

The socio-demographic data show that:
Respondents aged 55 or over are somewhat less likely than younger respondents
(69% vs. 74-76%) to feel concerned about abusive price setting during the
changeover.
People who expect the euro to have negative consequences are more likely to feel
concerned about this. For example, 79% of people who think the euro will have
negative consequences for their own country express concern about abusive price
setting, as opposed 67% of respondents who think the euro will have positive
consequences.
79% of people who are against joining the euro, but only 69% of those in favour,
feel concerned about abusive price setting during the changeover.

4.2. Changes due to the euro’s introduction
- Around eight in ten respondents think that they will personally manage to
adapt to the replacement of their national currency by the euro -
When asked whether they will personally manage to adapt to the replacement of their
national currency by the euro, 40% of people totally agree that they will and 41% tend
to agree that they will. In total, over eight in 10 respondents agree that they will be able
to personally manage. Only 17% of respondents disagree, with 10% tending to disagree,
and 7% totally disagreeing.
The level of agreement among individual countries ranges from 89% in Romania to 71%
in the Czech Republic. The proportion of people who totally agree varies more
substantially: 64% of people totally agree in Sweden, but fewer than three out of 10
people totally agree in the Czech Republic (24%) and Poland (28%).
Over a fifth of people do not agree that they will personally manage to adapt to the
replacement of their national currency by the euro in the Czech Republic (28%) and
Poland (22%).

According to the socio-demographic results:
Men are more likely than women (85% vs. 77%) to agree that they will
personally manage to adapt to the replacement of their national currency by the
euro.
While 83% of people who finished their education aged 20 or over agree that they
will manage to adapt, only 72% of respondents who left school aged 15 or under
do so.
88% of employees, but only 76% of manual workers, say they will personally
manage to adapt.
People who have already seen or used euro coins or banknotes are more likely to
say they will personally manage to adapt.
Individuals who believe the impact of the euro has been or will be positive are
much more likely to believe that they will personally manage to adapt to the
replacement of their national currency by the euro.
96% of people in favour of the euro say they will manage to adapt to the new
currency, as opposed to 65% of people who are against it.

4.3. Effects on national identity due to the adoption of the euro
- Respondents are divided over whether adopting the euro will mean that their
country will lose a part of its identity -
Equal proportions of people agree and disagree (both 48%) that adopting the euro will
mean that their country loses a part of its identity. Opinion has been more or less
equally divided on this question since November 2011; before that a majority of people
consistently disagreed with the statement.
There are big differences between countries on this question. At least a relative majority
of respondents agree that adopting the euro will mean that their country loses a part of
its identity in four countries: the Czech Republic (66% vs. 32%), Sweden (66% vs.
33%), Croatia (53% vs. 44%), and Bulgaria (48% vs. 44%). But in the other three
countries at least a relative majority of respondents disagree: Hungary (63% vs. 33%),
Poland (53% vs. 44%), and Romania (49% vs. 45%). Since 2014, the level of
agreement has increased in Croatia (53%, +3pp) and Romania (45%, +2pp).

According to the socio-demographic results:
While 62% of 15-24 year-olds agree that adopting the euro will mean that their
country loses a part of its identity, only 41% of people aged 55 and above think
this will happen.
While 63% of people who think the euro will have negative consequences for their
country say adopting it will mean that their country loses a part of its identity,
only 32% of those who say the euro will have positive consequences agree.
65% of people who are against the introduction of the euro in their own country
think adopting it will mean their country loses a part of its identity, while only
33% of people in favour say this.

4.4. Control over a nation’s economic policy
- Respondents are divided over whether adopting the euro will mean that their
country will lose control over its economic policy -
A relative majority of people (47% vs. 46%) agree that adopting the euro will mean that
their country loses control over its economic policy. This is the first time in the history of
the survey that a relative majority of people have agreed with the statement. Even as
recently as 2014, 53% of people disagreed, while only 42% agreed. In 2006, 59% of
respondents disagreed, versus only 29% who agreed. As will be seen below, the addition
of Sweden to the survey goes a long way to explaining the swing.
At least a relative majority of people in four countries agree that adopting the euro will
mean that their country loses control over its economic policy: Sweden (71% vs. 26%),
the Czech Republic (52% vs. 43%), Romania (48% vs. 41%), and Bulgaria (45% vs.
44%). In the other three countries a most respondents do not agree with this: Hungary
(62% vs. 32%), Croatia (50% vs. 44%), and Poland (50% vs. 44%). Since 2014, the
level of agreement has increased in Romania (48%, +6pp) and Poland (44%, +5pp),
while declining in the Czech Republic (52%, -4pp) and Croatia (44%, -3pp).

that their country loses control over its economic policy, only 42% of people aged
55 or over agree.
61% of people who think the euro will have negative consequences for them
personally, but only 35% of those who think it will have positive consequences,
agree with the statement.
Similarly, 63% of respondents who are against joining the euro agree that
adopting it will mean that their country loses control over its economic policy,
versus 33% of those in favour.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Between the 20th and the 22nd of April 2015, TNS Political & Social, a consortium created between TNS political &
social, TNS UK and TNS opinion, carried out the survey FLASH EUROBAROMETER 418 about the “Introduction of
the euro in the Member States that have not yet adopted the common currency”.
This survey has been requested by the EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Directorate-General for Economic and Financial
Affairs. It is a general public survey co-ordinated by the Directorate-General for Communication (“Strategy,
Corporate Communication Actions and Eurobarometer” Unit). The FLASH EUROBAROMETER 418 covers the
population of the respective nationalities of the European Union Member States that have not yet adopted the
common currency, resident in each of the seven Member States and aged 15 years and over. The survey covers
the national population of citizens as well as the population of citizens of all the European Union Member States
who are resident in these countries and have a sufficient command of the national languages to answer the
questionnaire. All interviews were carried using the TNS e-Call center (our centralized CATI system). In every
country respondents were called both on fixed lines and mobile phones. The basic sample design applied in all
states is multi-stage random (probability). In each household, the respondent was drawn at random following the
"last birthday rule".
TNS has developed its own RDD sample generation capabilities based on using contact telephone numbers from
responders to random probability or random location face to face surveys, such as Eurobarometer, as seed
numbers. The approach works because the seed number identifies a working block of telephone numbers and
reduces the volume of numbers generated that will be ineffective. The seed numbers are stratified by NUTS2
region and urbanisation to approximate a geographically representative sample. From each seed number the
required sample of numbers are generated by randomly replacing the last two digits. The sample is then screened
against business databases in order to exclude as many of these numbers as possible before going into field. This
approach is consistent across all countries.
