The European Union remains the largest economy and economic area in the world.
Most countries in this region have a relatively high standard of living compared to other regions of the world.There is still a disparity among the wealthy and poor countries in Europe, but none is below the international poverty standards.
The creation of the European Union banished trade barriers, tariffs and built the greatest single trade bloc with 27 countries. As a result, the economies are closely linked and benefit from each other. The introduction of the Euro, as one common currency, erased exchange rates among the 24 member countries. Due to this, cross-border trading was simplified in the Euro zone.
