TOP 09: Czechia should start getting ready to adopt the euro

Members of the government coalition party Top 09 said at a press conference on Friday that Czechia should once again start focusing on the goal of adopting the euro as this would revive the economy. Deputy Chairman of the Budget Committee, Miloš Nový, stated that adopting the euro would mean an emphasis on budgetary responsibility, which would prevent Czechia from going down the road of deep budget deficits. He also said that he thinks inflation in Czechia would currently be lower if it had the euro.

TOP 09 wants to talk to Czech citizens not only about the euro, but also about the positive aspects of the EU. However, the Cabinet has no plans to adopt the euro during its current term.
