Price transparency in the Eurozone

24 May 2002

Our recently published technical briefing, 'Price transparency in the Eurozone', offers you a background on impacts of the introduction of the Euro, along with realistic advice on how to make the most of the benefits of price transparency in your business.

Price transparency is, and will continue to be, the main advantage of the adoption of the euro in the 12 Eurozone countries, making it easier for businesses and consumers to compare the prices of goods and services throughout participating countries.

The new guide is not only directed at the qualified accountant but at everyone trading with businesses in the Eurozone. It offers practical advice on dealing with the Euro and Sterling together in accounts, controlling exchange rate risks and avoiding a squeeze on profit margins. Covering the taxation issues arising from trading with the Eurozone, and giving realistic guidance on adapting company pricing strategy to meet the requirements of the single market, the briefing also considers the impact the 'knowledge economy' and the internet have had on this.

This easy-to-read guide is available for download free of charge.
