Today, 1 EUR equals 1 USD.
The shift means European companies and consumers will pay more for the goods and services they import, while European exports become immediately cheaper in international markets.

IMF Staff Country Reports-Ireland: Selected Issues
July 7, 2022--ENSURING AN INCLUSIVE AND GROWTH-ENHANCING FISCAL POLICY MIX 1A. Context1.
