Press Release: Euro area countries recommend Latvia euro accession

The euro area member states on 21 June 2013 adopted a recommendation in favour of a proposal to allow Latvia to join the currency union on 1 January 2014.

They agreed with the European Commission's assessment that Latvia has achieved a high degree of sustainable convergence and therefore fulfils the necessary conditions for adoption of the euro as its currency.
