Sputnik: Euro Currency Losing its Appeal Amid Economic Woes

Of the seven countries, a majority of respondents in Romania (68 percent) and Hungary (60 percent) were in favor of introducing the common currency.

However, support for joining the euro was less convincing in Croatia and Bulgaria, where just over half the people believed changing over to the euro would be a good thing for their respective economies.

Meanwhile, as a sign the euro may be losing its appeal, the majority of respondents in the Czech Republic (70 percent), Sweden (66 percent) and Poland (53 percent) were against introducing the currency in their country.

Overall, less than half the people were in favour of implementing the euro, with the currency’s approval rating dropping from previous years.
