The euro: a tale of two decades

What was it like when the euro was launched in 1999? Where will the euro be in another 20 years? Is there a link between support for the euro and trust in the ECB? Our host Michael Steen discusses these questions with expert guests Erkki Liikanen, Martin Wolf and Siria Angino.

The views expressed are those of the speakers and not necessarily those of the European Central Bank.
