Most of the available literature on economic history deals with the advanced countries of Western Europe and the United States of America. The monetary and financial history of South-Eastern Europe, however, is still largely unexplored. This data volume aims at filling this gap by shedding light on the monetary history of the individual countries in South-Eastern Europe and on the region as a whole.
By making this historical database available to a wider audience, the SEEMHN hopes to motivate researchers to further investigate financial and monetary economics of South-Eastern Europe.

Statements by Scholars:

“…statistical series such as these serve as the skeleton for the […writing of the Monetary history of
South-East Europe]. Institutional detail and historical narrative will put flesh on the bones.”
- Michael D. Bordo, Rutgers University and NBER

“…the volume’s comparative outlook…amply highlights main threats to financial stability, including
the perils of ‘importing’ policy credibility through currency pegs whilst political institutions remain
fragile and fiscal discipline elusive.”
- Luis A. V. Catão, International Monetary Fund and Joint Vienna Institute

“This landmark volume of [South-Eastern European] monetary history and data series ... will remove
not only several quantitative handicaps faced so far by relevant research initiatives, but also some of the
prejudice characterising the debates on whether and to which extent these economies could be ever
considered as intrinsically linked to the main European developments.”
- Nicos Christodoulakis, Athens University of Economics and Business

“…South-Eastern European monetary history is no longer terra incognita.”
- Matthias Morys, University of York, author of the introduction, welcoming the joint effort
