European Currency Unit (ECU)

The European Currency Unit (ECU) was utilized by the European Monetary System for almost two decades, from 1979 to 1998. This unit served as the monetary standard for the European Union, consisting of a basket of currencies from member countries. It was a crucial tool in promoting economic stability and facilitating international trade within the region. Despite being replaced by the euro, the concept of the ECU remains an important part of understanding the history and evolution of European finance.
