Summary: | The Exchange Rate Mechanism 2 (ERM2) framework promises a stronger and closer relationship between the euro and potential non-euro members of the EU. The central factor of the relationship will depend on the progress of the economic convergence of participating countries. ERM2 provides for a suspension of intervention and financing by the European Central Bank (ECB) and non-euro banks during price stabilisation. It clearly indicates an exchange rate objective that is geared towards non-inflationary economic and monetary policies. An examination is undertaken of how best to organise monetary and exchange rate policy cooperation between the euro area and these other EU countries.
