The objectives of this survey are identical to those of previous rounds: to identify and track citizens' perceptions in the new Member States outside the euro area (the “NMS7”) regarding the future introduction of the common currency.
The main themes of this report are an examination of: 1. levels of knowledge about and experience of the euro among citizens in the NMS7; 2. citizens’ feelings about how well they have been informed and their preferred information channels; 3. NMS7 citizens’ perceptions of, and support for, the single currency; 4. their expectations about the adoption of the euro and the potential inconveniences they foresee.
