In an interview to be published tomorrow in the pro-government weekly Gazeta Polska, the head of the NBP (Poland's central bank) has reiterated his objections to any possibility of Poland adopting the euro.
In the interview, Głapiński states that euro adoption is not only unpatriotic but is "against Poland's material interest."
Professor Głapiński claims that contrary to the popular opinion that the euro would offer Poland stability, being in the eurozone would hold Poland back from fulfilling its potential.
Several leading Polish economists have emphasized that Poland does not meet the Maastricht criteria for entry to the eurozone: stability of prices, stable exchange rates and low interest rates.
