Abstract
The recent string of economic difficulties and financial collapses in Eastern Europe revived the interest in monetary and exchange rate arrangements as linchpins of reform efforts in the former communist economies. Given the geographical location, the advent of the European Monetary Union (EMU) is, indeed, the major factor determining the shape of this reform effort.
