In this paper the problem of UK entry into the euro zone and the integration of financial markets was discussed. The first part is devoted to the main arguments of entry to the monetary union. The problem of increased convergence of business cycles of Great Britain and the euro area, the external effects of monetary union and autonomy of monetary policy were raised in this section. The rest focused on the importance of financial markets in the economy and the expected consequences of the integration of financial markets. It was also stressed that the very low support for the idea of integration in society of Great Britain will be the key factor in the forthcoming years.
