Poland's finance minister has said that Poland will not join the Euro currency, even though Poland is part of the European Union. Poland has the highest growth in the EU and clearly one of the reasons is NOT being tied to the Euro currency. Poland has kept their own currency, the Złoty. One of the reasons all growth has stopped in Italy and Greece is linked to their being in the Euro currency with countries like Germany, which are more productive. Over time, goods and services in Italy and Greece become less competitive relative to Germany, because they are stuck in the same currency.(Wall Street Mav)
