Author

  • Philip R. Lane

Abstract

The first decade of EMU has taught us much about the power of a single currency to integrate financial markets. In this review, I first discuss the quantitative impact of the euro on cross- border financial holdings before turning to the macroeconomic implications of enhanced financial integration.
