From the first day of next year, Slovaks will exchange their crowns for euros. However, in the first few months, according to established European custom, prices will be expressed in both euros and crowns.
To avoid possible confusion and inconveniences, the Slovak government has undertaken numerous informational campaigns. From January 1, 2009, Slovakia will become the 16th member of the eurozone. We welcome Slovakia into this select company, as it demonstrates how much the Slovak economy, society, and financial discipline have advanced since joining the European Union, said Joaquin Almunia, European Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs.
