Author-Name:Weidmann, Jens
Classification-JEL:F33
Keywords: 
Abstract: Using information contained in forward interest rates, this paper attempts to assess the probability
	that European Monetary Union (EMU) occurs and that a particular country participates. It is shown that since
	the Madrid "summit" the public has become increasingly optimistic about the realization of EMU.
	Furthermore, Germany, the Netherlands, France and Belgium are found to be the most likely candidates for
	the single currency project.
