New indicators of the euro’s global appeal from the euro area international investment position
- The European Central Bank (ECB) is introducing new indicators to assess the global appeal of the euro by analyzing currency exposures within the euro area's international investment position.
- Data from 2024 reveals that the euro area accounted for approximately one-fifth of global cross-border assets and liabilities, totaling around €175 trillion.
- This analysis is critical for understanding the single currency's role in international finance and its ability to maintain price stability and purchasing power.
- Further detailed findings will be presented by authors Schmitz, Gandolfi, and Rousová at the External Statistics Conference scheduled for May 28-29, 2026, in Kraków, Poland.
