Abstract

Uvođenje eura jedno je od najvažnijih iskoraka Republike Hrvatske koji će, između ostalog, imati utjecaja i na međunarodnu razmjenu. Datum uvođenja eura kao nacionalne valute je 1. siječnja 2023. godine. U radu se pruža uvid u literaturne nalaze o učincima uvođenja eura na međunarodnu razmjenu u zemljama koje su već uvele euro, a također se vrši i empirijska analiza ove problematike na primjeru sljedećih zemalja: Belgija, Estonija, Grčka, Slovenija i Litva. Nalazi u radu ukazuju na porast izvoza u zemljama koje su uvele euro, a isti pozitivni učinci očekuju se kod Hrvatske, kao male i otvorene zemlje. To je potkrijepljeno činjenicom da uvođenje eura uklanja valutni rizik, olakšava transakcije i usporedivost cijena, omogućuje niže transakcijske troškove te privlači strana ulaganja. Posebnu korist mogao bi ostvariti turistički sektor kao najzastupljeniji i najprofitabilniji sektor u Hrvatskoj s velikim obujmom gotovinskih transakcija. U radu su također provedene dvije ankete o javnom mnijenju građana i gospodarstvenika glede uvođenja eura.

Abstract (english)

The introduction of the euro is one of the most important steps forward for the Republic of Croatia, which will, among other things, have an impact on international exchange. The date of introduction of the euro as the national currency is January 1, 2023. The paper provides an insight into the literature findings on the effects of the introduction of the euro on international trade in countries that have already introduced the euro, and an empirical analysis of this issue is also carried out using the example of the following countries: Belgium, Estonia, Greece, Slovenia and Lithuania. The findings in the paper indicate an increase in exports in countries that introduced the euro, and the same positive effects are expected in Croatia, as a small and open country. This is supported by the fact that the introduction of the euro removes currency risk, facilitates transactions and price comparability, enables lower transaction costs and attracts foreign investment. A special benefit could be achieved by the tourism sector as the most represented and most profitable sector in Croatia with a large volume of cash transactions. The paper also provides two surveys on the public opinion of citizens and businessmen regarding the introduction of the euro.
