3. create a permanent dialogue platform for all these entities to foster experience sharing which would be mutually beneficial.

The establishment of a monetary union requires first a determination of the structural economic mechanisms for which either convergence/coordination between national mechanisms or the creation of a new federal institution are needed. These mechanisms cover fiscal and financial policies, including financial stability, payments and increasingly climate change policies. In a second step, cross institutional cooperation between the central banks of the prospective member states is needed to harmonize the conduct of monetary and financial policies. This includes collaboration to promote understanding of the multiple challenges faced by policy makers addressing shifts in the global economy that impact on their economies. This is especially relevant in exceptional times which may require unconventional policy responses.
