Leter: Monetary union will allow fiscal foolishness
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Mr V. D. Elia
Sir: I am an Italian small businessman who has worked in this country for 25 years. During this time, I have found the current monetary system is one of the most difficult issues, in particular when changing money to travel abroad.
How can we go forward if the British want to be different? It doesn't mean that we have to have the same coins or paper notes, but everybody can keep policies on fixed interest rates and exchange rates so we know where we stand. This will allow us to compete with the rest of the world.
We must be strong in Europe and we need one monetary system. We have excellent resources in this country, but people do not know how to utilise them properly or how to export them. This is why one currency will bring us back in line with the best.
Yours faithfully,
