Poland adopting the Euro, but when?

Hopefully they will set a date around 2112 and the EU will collapse in the meantimes. :P

It seems that we are going to adopt EURO much later than 2012.

Main reason look on what happen in baltic states. They are members of program before Euro. When troubles apeared they Estonia have 11% infation and only 4.5 % incerease of GDP. Latvia has 16% inflation. This countries can't react on this changes because they are in program before Euro

We have biger inflation too (1% one year ago now about 3- 4%), it isn't so horible like in baltic states because we have tools to react in result we have the smallest inflation form new EU members. The other thing is that baltic states had unbalanced budget policy, Polish growt is the healthies in new EU, now we will see why ;) (during troubles).

Euro yes but not now when we develope much faster than Euro Zone and decsions of European bank (good for Germany or Italy) can be harming for our rapidly developing country.

Oh, but it is true and not only in Germany. In Holland they did the same: 1 Euro = about 2.2 Dutch Florins but the week and month after the introduction everything that was priced for example 5 Guilders (Florins) before was now 4 or 5 Euros, just about twice as much. And indeed, things that cost 1 Florin before, since then cost 1 Euro. Ppl lost a lot of money due to the change. Especially the hospitality sector abused the currency change.

And Lukasz, Poland may be the best (according to a Polish source - I just wonder how subjective that will be), but Slowakia is the first to adopt the Euro from all these countries, as fas as I know.

M-G (so very true)

Thread attached on merging:
Implementation of Euro

Does anyone know whether there is a hard date for the implementation of the Euro in Poland? Has anything been announced?

That's the American Health Care System in a nutshell.

Hopefully by the time Poland adopts the Euro the Dollar will have gained some ground back. Otherwise it's just more pain for me. From the rhetoric it seems somewhere around 2012, but I wouldn't hold my breath on that one.
