Denmark Should Consider Euro for Deeper EU Ties, Governor Says

Danes should consider joining the euro if they want a bigger role in the European Union, according to their central bank chief, who hinted that such a move could insulate the nation from global turbulence.

Denmark is “already a euro country” in a macroeconomic sense because of its foreign-exchange peg, but adopting the single currency would allow it to “take stronger part in the decision making, be stronger integrated” in regional cooperation, Governor Christian Kettel Thomsen said in an interview on Thursday.
