Summary: | The commencement of the third stage of the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) on January 1, 1999 will see the creation of a common currency, the euro. The scope for independent national monetary and exchange rate policies will disappear, and their design and conduct will become the responsibility of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB). The primary objective of the ESCB, which is comprised of the European Central Bank (ECB) and the national central banks of the eleven EMU participants, will be to maintain price stability. As the central bank of the euro area, the ECB will have a high degree of independence and accountability, and will be prohibited from directly financing governments and European Union (EU) institutions.
