Introduction Prior to the introduction of the Euro there was a lot of debating to what extend the Euro could function in the Eurozone. Some of the criticism came from the OCA theory where it was argued that the euro zone was not an optimal currency area because of the regional disparities among the member states. A monetary policy that might be right for Germany and the Netherlands might not be as beneficial for countries like Spain and Italy. Other criticism originates from the period of the European

monetary cohesiveness resulting in the formation of the Euro-Zone within the European Union. The Euro-Zone formed a single currency known as the euro that circulated among the 17 members. In addition, the citizens within the Euro-Zone may travel freely if they wish such as for going to work or simply on vacation without needing to be bogged down with passports or visas within the members of the Euro-Zone.

Effect of euro crisis on India EURO CRISIS: The European debt crisis is the shorthand term for Europe’s struggle to pay the debts it has built up in recent decades. Five of the region’s countries – Greece, Portugal, Ireland, Italy, and Spain – have, to varying degrees, failed to generate enough economic growth to make their ability to pay back bondholders the guarantee it was intended to be.
