In addition to non-EU countries that use the Euro and emit it by means of bilateral agreement (San Marino, Vatican City, Monaco and Andorra), those who unilaterally adopt the euro as its national currency (Kosovo and Montenegro) and the dependent territories that adopt the Euro (Akrotiri and Dhekelia, British dependencies in Cyprus), there are other countries whose currencies are pegged to the euro by a fixed exchange rate or by a band of fluctuation permitted in observance of a defined central parity.

EUR/MAD for 10 years
