The euro was born 25 years ago, on January 1, 1999. Since then, the single currency has shaped the European economy and established itself as the second most important currency in the world alongside the dollar. Otmar Issing was at the center of developments as the first Chief Economist of the then newly established European Central Bank (ECB).
