Six out of ten respondents in the EU Member States that have yet to adopt the euro think that the common currency has had a positive impact on those countries that already use it. A majority (53%) also believe that introducing the euro would have positive consequences for their own country and for them personally (56%). Overall, nearly six out of ten (58%) respondents are in favour of their country introducing the euro in their country. Around three in ten (29%) think that the euro should be introduced in their country as soon as possible. At least half of respondents feel informed about the euro (except in Romania), with more than eight in ten (83%) respondents, on average, saying that they have already used euro banknotes or coins.
