A monetary union is a form of an intergrovernmental agreement (whose basis is to make trading easier by reducing or creating non-tariff barriers between trading partners) that has two features:
- it is composed of a single market (common policies for consumers and producers within the market such as regulation)
- there is a common currency among all the trading partners
Some benefits of this include:
- Freedom of movement between trading partners
- Ease with respect to money details of contract (no need to figure out the exchange rate for example)
- because it requires a single market, monopolies are rare and competitive markets dominate (cheaper products, more efficient producers)
An example of a monetary union is the European Monetary union.
