As anyone who has traveled internationally learns, the exchange rates
available to private retail customers are not always as attractive as those
accessed by companies and corporations. The OzForex web site contains
a section on “customer rates” that illustrate the difference. Use the site to
calculate what the percentage difference between Australian dollar/U.S
dollar spot exchange rates are for retail customers versus a bank.

The Maastricht Treaty specifies that the European Union irrevocably fix
exchange rates among the member currencies by January 1, 1999, and
subsequently
introduce
a
common
currency,
replacing
national
currencies. It is not clear, however, if the European Monetary Union
(EMU) indeed will be realized as scheduled. Many member countries,
such as Italy, Spain, and even France, may not be able to satisfy the
convergence criteria: low public debt, low inflation, and so on. Germans
themselves are somewhat reluctant to give up the DEM, which is
undoubtedly one of the most stable currencies in the world, for the
common European currency with possibly a greater purchasing power
uncertainty. The United Kingdom, on the other hand, is reluctant to join
the EMU for domestic political reasons.
Investigate the political and economic situations surrounding the
European monetary integration and write your own assessment of the
prospects of the EMU. In doing so, assess, among the other things, (1)
potential benefits and costs of the EMU, (2) economic and political
constraints faced by the major countries like France, Germany, and the
U.K., (3) the most likely course of evolution of European monetary
integration, and (4) the possible impact of the EMU on the international
monetary system, including the role of the U.S dollar.
