After the Euro and Interstate Banking: Fall-Out Hypothesis Euro —Reconsidered 2022

Abstract

This paper revises the crucial outcome of adopting a single legal currency, within the environment of a classic based competing central bank infrastructure, in an uncertain monetary category definition class, from a generally closed economy, to a competing quasi-global market, for an unbiased monetary unit alone. The fallout effects of such a system include the transfer of capitals, the unavoidable reallocation of resources, and the non-homogenous economic development in different regional areas. The recent USA Interstate Banking Act experience, after the Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994, constitutes a valid example of some necessary frameworks when opening a new financial operating infrastructure. This new paper focuses on the special conditions in the EU community States and the necessity—pending their financial integration—of a consideration of some likely negative fallout effects, in order to implement and consolidate some effective balancing measures. Nevertheless, the role that the globalization of the economic activity plays, especially in the financial community, is endorsing a rapid integration of the technology and operating techniques, that require critical volumes of trading and rapidly adjusting enterprise dimensions and operating techniques. The latter call for some form of institutional frameworks, considering the correct definition of the monetary function and its essence, requires a clear and unique common monetary framework.
