Why are monetary amounts described in USD?

[edit]

Shouldn't money be counted in Euros rather than USD, since the subject of the article is the EU and not the US? JohnR1Roberts (talk) 13:31, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Probably because its conventional internationally to state major metrics like GDP in US dollars, to facilitate comparison between economies. Better sources also give the purchasing power parity exchange rate because the market rate may be unrealistic for extraneous reasons (as with the Swiss Franc at times of international tension) or even "managed" (as in China, for example).

Picture Caption error

[edit]

Surely this:

Signing ceremony of the Treaty of Rome (1957), establishing the ECC

should read:
