Swedes Warm Up to Euro as Krona Approaches All-Time Lows
Swedes Warm Up to Euro as Krona Approaches All-Time Lows
Support for euro adoption is highest since 2009, poll shows. Liberal Party still remains the only force backing the move.
A poll published by Statistics Sweden on Wednesday showed 30.6% would vote in favor of adopting the euro. While 50.5% remains opposed
That is a minor "warm up" with more than 50% against the Euro.
7I can’t wait to be able to go anywhere in the EU without exchanging currencies!! 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺
2Our economists don't want to fix the SEK because it helps our exports and to hell with the citizens.
We've had a neoliberal control for the past 25 years and everything's gone to shit. People keep voting for them tho, because fuck the taxes that pays for everything we take for granted, apparently.
1Wasn't the running gag always that Sweden intentionally destabilizes the Krona in order to not have to fulfill their obligation to adopt the euro?
0Not necessarily destabilised, but Sweden has deliberately opted not to join the European Exchange Rate Mechanism which purpose is to stabilise currency exchange rates.
Sweden is by law bound to adopt the Euro, but by choosing not to join the ERM II, Sweden by extension can't join the Euro because they technically don't fulfil the requirements.
This is of course a simple loophole that could be closed by the EU, but there hasn't really been much political will to do anything about it.
