The market that includes all of the European Union member countries - many of which use the same currency, the euro. All tariffs between Euromarket member countries have been abolished, and import duties from all non-member countries have been fixed for all of the member countries. The Euromarket also has one central bank for all of the member countries, the European Central Bank (ECB).Also known as "the common market". |||The Euromarket is a large single market comprised of all member countries, allowing for more efficient trade and the centralization of monetary policy through the ECB. The Euromarket is considered a major finance source for international trade, through the money market or eurocurrency, eurocredit and eurobonds.
The money market in which Eurocurrency, currency held in banks outside of the country where it is legal tender, is borrowed and lent by banks in Europe. The Eurocurrency market allows for more convenient borrowing, which improves the international flow of capital for trade between countries and companies. |||For example, a Japanese company borrowing U.S. dollars from a bank in France is using the Eurocurrency market.
A geographic and economic region that consists of all the European Union countries that have fully incorporated the euro as their national currency.Also referred to as "euroland". |||The eurozone is one of the largest economic regions in the world and its currency, the euro, is considered one of the most liquid when compared to others.

A series of consecutive three-month futures contracts based on U.S. dollar-denominated deposits in foreign banks. Eurostrips, also called eurofutures strips or eurodollar futures strips, are a type of interest-rate derivative and, like swaps, are used to hedge against changes in interest rates. A one-year eurostrip would consist of four consecutive contracts, each lasting three months, that together have a duration of one year and thus provide an interest-rate hedge for one year. |||The end result of hedging using eurostrips is the same as that of using swaps, but the two investments are traded differently and have different cash flows. One choice may be more desirable than another at a given time to meet a specific investment objective, or both may be even used together. Eurostrips are popular because of their flexibility to be structured in many different ways to meet a variety of hedging needs.
Money available to the U.S. Treasury Department primarily used for participating in the foreign-exchange market in an attempt to maintain currency stability. It holds U.S. dollars, foreign currencies and special drawing rights. |||The ESF allows the U.S. government to intervene in the forex market to influence exchange rates, usually the domain of the central bank, without affecting the domestic money supply. This money is also used to provide financing to foreign countries.
The price of one country's currency expressed in another country's currency. In other words, the rate at which one currency can be exchanged for another. For example, the higher the exchange rate for one euro in terms of one yen, the lower the relative value of the yen. |||In most financial papers, currencies are expressed in terms of U.S. dollars, while the dollar is commonly compared to the Japanese yen, the British pound and the euro. As of the beginning of 2006, the exchange rate of one U.S. dollar for one euro was about 0.84, which means that one dollar can be exchanged for 0.84 euros.
An exchange rate mechanism is based on the concept of fixed currency exchange rate margins. However, there is variability of the currency exchange rates within the confines of the upper and lower end of the margins. This currency exchange rate mechanism is also commonly called a semi-pegged currency system. |||The most notable exchange rate mechanism was the one that was in effect in Europe. The goal of the European Exchage Rate Mechanism was to reduce exchange rate variability and achieve monetary stability in Europe prior to the introduction of the single currency - the euro - on January 1, 1999.
