Evran--the Euro

Evra ķ staš krónu?
Sameiginleg evrópsk mynt er ķ ešli sķnu vinsęl mešal almennings sem sleppur viš aš afla sér gjaldeyris į ferš um ašildarrķkin og nokkur sparnašur nęst hjį fyrirtękjum. Ókostirnir sem  fylgja žvķ aš afsala sér eigin mynt eru hins vegar verulegir žótt minna sé um žį rętt.

Ķ sjįlfstęšu rķki er gengisskrįning eigin myntar įsamt įkvöršun vaxta og skatta helstu rįšin til aš berjast gegn neikvęšum afleišingum hagsveiflna sem hafa žį įrįttu aš keyra hagkerfi žjóšanna śt af sporinu, żmist meš hįskalegri ofženslu eša alvarlegum samdrętti og atvinnuleysi. Rķki sem bśa viš samsvarandi efnahagskerfi geta tekiš upp sameiginlega mynt meš góšum įrangri. Efnahagskerfiš į Ķslandi er hins vegar verulega ólķkt efnahagslķfi ašildarrķkja ESB. Hagsveiflur hér eru oft brattari en annars stašar og śr takti viš hagsveiflur ķ ESB. Hér er žaš t.d. śtflutningsverš į sjįvarafuršum sem mjög ręšur ferš hagsveiflunnar en žaš į ekki viš ESB.
Žaš yrši Ķslendingum afar óhagstętt ef gengi myntar žeirra tęki ekki lengur miš af ķslenskum ašstęšum heldur kringumstęšum ķ löndum žar sem įstand mįla er allt annars ešlis. Sama į viš um beitingu skatta og vaxta sem nś er fariš aš mišstżra ķ ESB.

Will the Euro replace the króna?   
A common currency is popular with the general public, who no longer have to exchange currency when travelling between member countries. Businesses too would make some saving. Giving up a national currency entails, however, various disadvantages, although these are less frequently mentioned. In an independent state, setting the exchange rate of the national currency, along with levels of taxation and interest rates, is one of the principal tools to control the ill-effects of economic fluctuations, which have a constant tendency to drive national economies off course, either by hazardous overheating, or by serious recession and unemployment. Nations whose economies are similar can join forces to use a common currency with excellent results. The Icelandic economy, however, differs fundamentally from the economies of EU member states. The economy experiences violent fluctuations, which bear no relation to the economic swings experienced in the EU; this is because here in Iceland such fluctuations are generally attributable to variations in the export value of seafood products. This does not apply to the EU. It would be highly unfavourable for Iceland if the currency used here were subject to exchange-rate trends that did not reflect Icelandic conditions, but conditions in nations where entirely different economic factors prevail. The same applies to the application of taxation and interest rates, which are now being centrally controlled within the EU.
