The German Currency Union: Challenges for Both Parts of Germany

  • Chapter
The German Currency Union of 1990

Abstract

This chapter provides the exact translation of an address originally presented in German by the author to the Industrie- und Handelskammer Mittlerer Neckar (Chamber of Commerce of Stuttgart and the surrounding area), Baden-Württemberg, on 6 March 1990. The address was regarded by the then President of the Chamber (now President of the Deutsche Industrie-und Handelskammer, DIHT), Bonn, as inconvenient, and consequently was only mimeographed and not published — as was to be expected.
