After a long pause following its existential crisis of the early 2010s, the euro area is expanding again. Croatia and Bulgaria aim to adopt the euro as their currencies, in early 2023 and 2024, respectively. They both entered the banking union framework in October 2020 in preparation. What are the lessons of this process so far, and will other European Union member states follow suit?
