Frequently asked questions about euro
The euro is the currency for the 19 EU countries belonging to the euro zone. It’s the second largest traded currency in the world behind the US dollar. By 2022, it accounted for 31% of all currency transactions with an average daily turnover of over $ 2.2 trillion a day. EUR/USD is the most traded currency paper in the world that accounts for an estimated 30%discount on all transactions, followed by EUR/JPY (4%), EUR/GBP (3%) and EUR/AUD (2%).
The European Central Bank (ECB) in Frankfurt, Germany, is the Reserve Bank for the eurozone. The ECB sets the interest rate and manages monetary policy. ECB’s primary mandate is to maintain price stability, which means either controlling inflation or stimulating growth. Its primary tool is the raising or lowering of interest rates. Relatively high interest rates – or the expectation of higher interest rates – will usually benefit the euro and vice versa. The ECB Board Council makes monetary policy decisions at meetings held eight times a year. Decisions are made by managers of the national banks in the euro area and six permanent members, including the president of the ECB, Christine Lagarde.
Eurozone -inflation data, measured by the harmonized index for consumer prices (HICP), is an important econometric for the euro. If inflation increases more than expected, especially if over ECB’s target of 2%, it obliges the ECB to raise interest rates to bring it back under control. Relatively high interest rates compared to its colleagues will usually benefit the euro as it makes the region more attractive as a place for global investors to park their money.
Data releases measure the health of the economy and can affect the euro. Indicators such as GDP, Manufacture and Services PMIs, Employment and Consumers’ Mood Investigations can all affect the direction of the individual currency. A strong economy is good for the euro. Not only does it attract more foreign investment, but it can encourage the ECB to set up interest rates that will directly strengthen the euro. Otherwise, if financial data is weak, the euro is likely to fall. Economic data for the four largest economies in the euro area (Germany, France, Italy and Spain) are especially important as they account for 75% of the eurozone economy.
Another significant data waiver for the euro is the trade balance. This indicator measures the difference between what a country earns on its export and what it spends on imports over a given period. If a country produces a lot of sought -after export, its currency will win in value exclusively from the extra demand created by foreign buyers trying to buy these goods. Therefore, a positive net spirit balance strengthens a currency and vice versa for a negative balance.
