Of the Member States outside the euro area, Denmark and the United Kingdom have 'opt-outs' from joining laid down in Protocols annexed to the Treaty, although they can join in the future if they so wish. Sweden has not yet qualified to be part of the euro area. This means that, for the first time, the yield curve has inverted (signaling eurozone recession) at the same time that M1 money supply has continued to grow robustly (signaling a return to expansion). Determining which of these signals is correct is a key question for eurozone bond investors in 2020.

EUROPEAN VIEW The Future of the Eurozone: A Realistic Approach. Only a few years ago, many renowned analysts and pundits were ready to bet money on the collapse of the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). Today, after years of significant reforms at both the EU and national levels, far fewer would consider doing so. As of April 2019, the nations that are a part of the eurozone include: Austria Belgium Cyprus Estonia Finland, France Germany, Greece Ireland, Italy Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg Malta Netherlands Portugal Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain. There are a handful of countries that have adopted the euro but have formal agreements allowing them to issue their own coins. The eurozone is an Economic and Monetary Union of 17 European Union (EU) member states that have adopted the euro (€) as their common currency and sole legal tender. Monetary policy of the zone is the responsibility of the European Central Bank (ECB) which is governed by a president and a board of the heads of national central banks. Conversely, countries that are less reliant on exports and manufacturing are doing better. Looking at the quarterly growth rates, Spain is still the best performing of the major Eurozone economies (0.4 percent in the third quarter), followed by France (0.3 percent), while the Italian and German economies are stagnating. 3 Since 2001, when Greece adopted the Euro as its currency, seven countries have joined the Eurozone. Slovenia began using the Euro in 2007, Cyprus and Malta in 2008, Slovakia in 2009, Estonia in 2011, Latvia in 2014, and Lithuania in 2015. These countries are small. Together, they are home to around 14.5 million people, just… EU members the United Kingdom, Denmark, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia, and Sweden don't use the euro as of 2019. New EU member countries are working toward becoming part of the eurozone. Romania planned to start using the currency in 2022, and Croatia planned to adopt it in 2024.

As of 2020, there are 19 EU member states in the eurozone, of which the first 11 (Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal and Spain) introduced the euro on 1 January 1999 when it was electronic only. Greece joined 1 January 2001, one year before the physical euro coins and notes replaced the old national currencies in the eurozone. Future of European Union will be costly. Expansion is a costly business: EU subsidies to the Eastern countries were $40 billion between 2004 and 2006, a large slice of the annual $97 billion Brussels budget - unlikely to scratch the surface in future.
