This is one of the lowest percentages among Eurozone member states, Philenews reported on Friday citing the European Commission’s latest Eurobarometer survey.

The survey shows 70% of respondents in Eurozone countries believe the euro is good for their country, compared to 62% in Cyprus.

Ireland (90%), Finland (84%), Malta (79%), Slovenia (78%) and Germany (77%) have the highest acceptance rates of euro usefulness within countries.

The lowest rates are recorded in Belgium (61%), Cyprus (62%), Italy (63%), Spain (65%), France (67%) and Greece (69%).

The Eurobarometer survey was conducted among some 17,700 respondents from the euro area Member States between 22 and 29 March 2021.
