 Case Studies
 

These case studies show how UK SMEs are preparing to deal in euro now, following the introduction of the euro in the euro area. They have been designed to help firms learn from the approaches adopted by similar businesses.

A series of over fifty individual case studies showing how firms were making preparations were published before euro cash was introduced in the euro area on 1 January 2002.

A set of six guides, each containing three or four case studies covering a range of sectors, have now been published which update the preparations made by some of the firms in the existing case studies.
