On both of these aspects the euro has had a mixed or unfavourable impact: the changeover of notes and coins does indeed seem to have caused an upsurge in prices - let us hope that it is only a temporary one - and as for growth, we are still waiting for the 'doping effect' which monetary union, according to its champions, was supposed to unleash.
Innanzitutto, il cambio delle monete e delle banconote sembra essere stata la causa dell'aumento dei prezzi che, auspichiamo, sia momentaneo. In secondo luogo, per quel che concerne la crescita siamo ancora in attesa dell'effetto 'doping? che, secondo gli zelatori, avrebbe dovuto innescare l'unificazione monetaria.
