Notwithstanding this, on 14 September 2003, a consultative Swedish referendum was held on the euro, the result of which was a strong rejection of the common currency.

 The Militant - September 15, 2003 -- Neither euro nor Swedish krona
Nationalistic resistance to the EMU, which has as its starting point the “defense of the Swedish krona” or the “independence of Sweden’s national bank,” is a reactionary obstacle to the line of march of the working class and its allies and makes the labor movement vulnerable to the demagogy of the ultraright.
Those in the Swedish ruling class who oppose the adoption of the euro are as much an enemy of the working class as those who campaign for the EMU.
Swedish workers and exploited farmers have interests that are antagonistic to those of the bosses and the entire bourgeoisie—whether Swedish or of other nationalities—and common interests with working people throughout the world.

 Sveriges Riksbank/Riksbanken - Heikensten: The Swedish krona and monetary policy
It is partly against this background that the krona's persistently weak average path in the latter part of the 1990s is surprising.
It is conceivable that the krona's depreciation at the time of the Asian and Russian crises has been exaggerated because the TCW index measures the exchange rate against the most important industrialised countries and uses weights based on export and import shares from 1989-90.
The problem here is that, like other currencies, the Swedish krona is difficult to forecast in the time perspective that is relevant for monetary policy, namely a couple of years ahead.

The krona is the national currency of the Kingdom of Sweden, a country of approximately 9 million residents located in the Scandinavia region of Northern Europe.
The Swedish word krona translates as “crown” in English, and shares a common ancestry with Norway’s krone and Denmark’s krone.

Rejection of the euro is a big blow to the Swedish business community as the possibility of closer EU integration for Sweden is not a reality for the near future and may result in lower economic GDP growth over the long term for Sweden.
For comparison, in April 2002 the krona was equal to the USD as measured by PPP.
The outlook for the rest of year 2004 and into 2005 is for the krona to remain stable and/or slightly depreciate versus the Euroland euro.

During the autumn it also became gradually clearer that the relationship for 1995 between growth and inflation in the Swedish economy would be better than expected.
This has had and, if the krona is strong, it will continue to have an increasingly large impact on the development of consumer prices.
In conclusion permit me to note that confidence in Swedish economic policy was enhanced in the second half of 1995.

Until 1873, the accepted currency in Sweden was the riksdaler, but the krona replaced it when Sweden joined the Scandinavian Monetary Union with Denmark and Norway.
Due to the large amount of foreign trade, the krona is constantly dependent on the economic status of other currencies, which makes it very volatile.
The outcome was pretty glum, compared to the stellar performance of the Swedish economy in 2004, as seasonally adjusted real GDP grew only 0.3%.

 Forex - Swedish krona down on weak current account, confidence data - Forbes.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
LONDON (AFX) - The Swedish krona was lower after a mixed set of Swedish data this morning, with a better-than-expected trade surplus offset by a decline in consumer confidence and a fall in the current account surplus.
However, given that the current account plays a role in determining the longer-term external value of the krona, today's data have a 'slight further bearish bias' for the currency, he said.
The krona fell yesterday after the central bank raised interest rates as expected but lowered its inflation forecasts and said the low inflationary pressure may lead to a 'slightly slower rate' of rate increases in the future.

LONDON (AFX) - The Swedish krona was lower against the dollar and the euro after Sweden's Riksbank hiked its main repo rate by 25 basis points to 2.00 pct as expected, but issued a much less hawkish accompanying statement.
The central bank lowered its forecasts for inflation and said interest rates are likely to rise at a 'slightly slower rate' in the future, even though it still conceded that rates are 'relatively low from a historical perspective'.
At 11.58 am, the dollar rose to 7.8742 against the Swedish krona, up from 7.8594 before the Riksbank announcement, while the euro jumped to 9.4145 skr from 9.3627 previously, just off an earlier seven-week high of 9.4293.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) -- The Swedish krona hit a 15-year low against the dollar on Thursday; experts blamed commotion in the telecommunication markets.
It was the lowest rate since March 1985, when the krona was valued at 9.56 against the dollar.
