Eurobarometer: overall support for the euro in non-euro area EU member states

According to the latest Eurobarometer survey, the majority of citizens (57 per cent) in the EU member states that have yet to adopt the euro think that the common currency has had a positive impact on those countries that already use it.

A majority also believe that introducing the euro would have positive consequences for their own country (51 per cent) and for them personally (52 per cent).

Overall, as regards attitudes towards introducing the euro, 52 per cent of respondents are in favour of their country introducing the euro.

Support is especially pronounced in Hungary (80 per cent) and Romania (65 per cent), followed by Sweden (51 per cent), Poland (43 per cent) and Czechia (42 per cent).

Favourability is picking up particularly strongly in Hungary, up five points compared to last year.

The Flash Eurobarometer 583 was conducted between April 17 and May 4 2026 in the five non-euro area member states that are legally committed to adopting the euro: Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Sweden. As part of its EU treaty, Denmark has an opt-out from adopting the euro.
