LATVIA
JOINS EUROZONE
Lativa has begun the
New Year by joining the Euro Zone. It is the 18th member of the
group which uses the Euro as its currency. Lativa has become the European
Union's fastest growing economy.
The Euro became Latvia's official currency after midnight local time on
Tuesday. However, polls show about half the country opposes the currency
switch. Some are reluctant to give up Latvia's own currency, a powerful symbol
of independence.
