It is a huge issue. Wales would have no say over interest rates or monetary policy and would have to accept controls by the Bank of England or Brussels if the euro is adopted meaning the country couldn't possibly be truly independent.

I would love to think Wales would be able to survive independently but how would they deal with this pandemic financially when all the money resulting from the Drakeford's latest firebreak will be provided by London? The answer is they couldn't fund this pandemic on their own and couldn't raise the money without permission from London where monetary policy is set.
