European Monetary Union, Euro and Impacts of Euro on TRNC Econamy Based on a Possible Membership of TRNC to EMU

EURO, Avrupa Birliği ekonomisinde tek para birimi olarak 1/1/2002 tarihinden itibaren yürürlüğe girmiş durumdadır. İngiltere EURO'ya karşı durumda olsa bile yine de Avrupa Birliği üyesi birçok ülke EURO'nun güçlü bir şekilde savunulucuğunu yapmaktadırlar. KKTC'nin (Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti) şu an için kendisine ait bir para birimi bulunmamaktadır ve para birimi olarak Türkiye Cumhuriyeti'nin para birimini kullanmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı eğer KKTC bir şekilde AB'ye ve buna bağlı olarak Avrupa Para Birliği'ne üye olursa ekonominin ne yönde etkileneceğini ortaya koymaktır

EURO is in the use of European Union economy since 1/1/2002. Although England is against the EURO; the majority of the member nations of European Union is supporting heavily the use of the EURO. For the time being TRNC (Turkish Republic Of Northern Cyprus) doesn't have it's own printed currency and it's using the currency of Turkish Republic. The main aim of this study is to figure out the possible impacts of Euro on TRNC economy if TRNC becomes a full member of the European Union hence European Monetary Union.
