As the important components of international monetary reform, region monetary integration is facing an unprecedented reform. Region monetary integration refers to the process that a certain area of relevant countries and regions where the monetary and financial field start to coordinate and combine, then form a special unity, finally realize the system of monetary unification. Along with the increasing trend of collectivization, globalization, regionalization of economic competition, the common currency is becoming one of the most powerful financial weapon.
