Cyprus & Malta welcome Euro



Country:  Cyprus; Malta and Gozo; Southern Cyprus

4th January 2008

January 1st saw both Cyprus and Malta introduce the euro, bringing the total number of countries in the Eurozone to 15. Fireworks marked the occasion in Malta, while in Cyprus major bank braches opened in spite of the New Year holiday to smooth the process. The leaders of both countries also made symbolic withdrawals of euros from cash machines just minutes into the New Year.

Together, Cyprus and Malta have added another 1.2 million people to the number of Europeans using the single currency, and they will now have equal voting rights with the other 13 Eurozone members at the European Central Bank.

Fully aware of the previous experiences of some other Eurozone members, Cyprus and Malta are closely watching retailers in order to make sure they do not use the changeover to round up their prices, contributing to inflation.  In addition, the Cypriot government urged companies to round their prices down, while Malta signed 12 price stabilisation agreements with importers, which are due to last until at least March 2008.
