Central banker: deadline for euro adoption up in the air

The vice-governor of the Czech National Bank, Mojmír Hampl, said that due to the current problems of the Eurozone, it made no sense to talk about any concrete deadline for the adoption of the euro in the Czech Republic. Speaking at a seminar held by the Czech Exporters’ Association, Mr Hampl said the European Union and the Eurozone faced a complicated debate on its future economic policies. The demand on the side of the Eurozone to accept new members also decreased, according to Mojmír Hampl. Most experts and politicians believe the Czech Republic could adopt the euro in 2015 at the earliest.
