The paper debates the pros and cons of the UK moving towards the final stage of European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) membership in view of the current recession in Britain. Transaction cost savings, increased growth, investment, and employment are viewed as potential positives and costs associated with the changeover and concerns as to the efficiency of a common financial policy are seen as potential negatives.
