Introduction of the euro in Lithuania

On 01/01/2015, Lithuania will become a full member of the euro area which includes those EU Member States that have adopted the single currency. Belonging to the euro area is much more than sharing a currency with other countries. It is about joining a community based on solidarity, responsibility and mutual benefits. This new accession also underlines the vitality of the Economic
and Monetary Union and is a sign of confidence in the euro.
