Latvia split over eurozone entry

On 1 January Latvia will become the 18th country to adopt the euro – a move welcomed by most of the business community. 

The owner of Valmiermuiza brewery, Aigars Rungis, says the euro will give his business an extra boost: “It will give us more stability and as a result more investors will be ready to invest.”

However, many members of the public are concerned it will mean higher prices as Damien McGuiness reports.
