摘要

Champagne and flowers would seem the rational way for a club to welcome such a desirable applicant. Estonia, due to adopt the euro on January 1st 2007, is a rare economic star by the debt-drenched, slow-growing standards of the euro zone. Instead of national debt, the state has net assets equal to about 6% of GDP. Whereas growth in the euro area is well under 2%, Estonia's economy last quarter expanded at a cracking 9.9% annual rate. Estonia's ?10 billion ($12 billion) economy makes up just 0.1% of the euro zone's GDP. So it won't change the big picture. Nor will Lithuania and Slovenia, also due to adopt the euro in 2007. But such new members raise big questions about the merits and methods of expanding the euro zone. In old Europe, some Italians are openly questioning the decision to adopt the single currency. But the newcomers are convinced that joining makes sense. They will lose no flexibility: Estonia and Lithuania have currency boards; Slovenia's exchange rate is fixed. Joining will save money (running a separate currency is costly) and, most important, end the risk of speculative attack—a nasty business for a small open economy.
