The idea is realistic in the long term, but not immediately. Challenges include:

  • Different countries have uneven inflation and debt levels
  • Political cooperation is inconsistent
  • Countries must establish a regional central bank, which isn’t ready yet
  • National currencies are still important for local control

The project is possible, but it may take several more years to become practical.
