U ovom trenutku Europska unija ima 27 punopravnih država članica od kojih njih 19 sudjeluju u monetarnoj uniji, odnosno eurozoni. Uspostavom monetarne unije željelo se povećati učinkovitost gospodarstva Europske unije, ali i gospodarstava svake države članice, omogućiti veću gospodarsku stabilnost, veći rast i više zapošljavanja. Da bi država članica Europske unije postala i dio monetarne unije, odnosno eurozone, potrebno je da prethodno ispuni odgovarajuće kriterije. Tema ovog rada je „Stvaranje europske monetarne unije“ te će u nastavku biti predstavljeni razlozi stvaranja europske monetarne unije, razvoj europske monetarne unije, stanje europske monetarne unije te iskustva članica europske monetarne unije.The European Monetary Union further integrates the economy of the European Union.
