This area includes countries which count of about 550 million people.

Possible changes in the near future:

1)UKRAINE. The country announced their intention to peg their currency hrvynia to € soon and also there are intensions of the country to join S€PA too. Source: https://babel.ua/en/amp/news/117801-ukraine-is-considering-pegging-the-hryvnia-to-the-euro-instead-of-the-dollar

2)ROMANIA. There are talks about Romania joining ERM II (Eurozone waiting room) and final adopt the common currency. There is no specific date for this yet but the country has started making some moves for this.

3)HUNGARY. Hungarian opposition leader (who according to polls gonna be the winner in the upcoming elections in a couple of months) express the will for his country to started accession to enter Eurozone.

4)ICELAND. The country soon will have a referendum for joining EU with the population being according to recent polls in favour for this while political will exist too.

There are thoughts in Iceland to adopt € because Icelandic currency is very vulnerable and weak in global changes and the banking system fragile. But in this hypothesis will need plenty of years to be accomplished this plan.

5)CZECHIA. There are some parties that push for Euro adoption such as STAN, TOP09 and in smaller scale pirates. (Source: https://www.novinky.cz/clanek/volby-do-poslanecke-snemovny-euro-v-roce-2029-ci-2030-top-09-a-stan-vytahly-stejne-tema-40522767). Also the majority of people in businesses are in favour for Euro adoption too. (Source: https://www.expats.cz/czech-news/article/time-for-a-change-why-more-companies-in-czechia-want-the-euro). But still there is no majority in population that want euro adoption and the political will is not clear despite the president call for Eurozone accession repeatedly.

In theory also Poland and Sweden according to their signed accession treaty they will adopt € somewhere in the future but not serious political and population will exist yet.

Had no idea so many countries currencies was pegged to the euro…
