December 20088Budapest8 Main Lessons for Floaters Fulfillment of backward-looking indicators necessary but not sufficient Euro brought us many benefits even before the entry date ERMII and managed floating are friends, not foes Do not rely on equal treatment Qualitative assessment important; no definition of sustainability

December 20089Budapest9 Policy Advice (1) Political consensus is good for markets – vital for stable policy path (euro preparations take longer than one government office trem) Carry out structural reforms before eurozone entry Communicate, communicate, communicate Ask for sustainability assessment at ERM II entry Prepare your ERMII commitments very carefully Use maximum band in ERMII, do not fix

December Budapest10 Policy Advice (2) Prepare escape clauses Be aware of speculative capital inflows in ERM II (one- way bets) Transparency in public accounts is a must Have a list of credible measures to support fiscal prudence Have a solid asessment of cyclical position, ER pass- through, labour market tensions and regulated prices
