Accession to the Monetary Union and Slovenian Monetary Policy Under Exchange Rate Targeting

Author

Listed:
  • Peter Mikek

Abstract

After joining the EU in 2004, Slovenia and other new members will have to adopt the euro. Their accession to the European Monetary Union will require stabilizing and later fixing their exchange rates and thus restrictive monetary policy. The paper shows that successful stabilization of the exchange rate also requires restrictive fiscal policy. Fiscal policy that is not compatible with the goals of monetary policy would prevent stabilization of the exchange rate.
