[[Sweden]] does not currently use the [[euro]] as its currency and has no plans to replace the existing Swedish [[Swedish krona|krona]] in the near future. Sweden's [[Treaties of the European Union#Ratified treaties|Treaty of Accession]] of 1994 made it subject to the [[Treaty of Maastricht]], which obliges states to join the [[eurozone]] once they meet the necessary conditions.<ref>[http://www.eu4journalists.eu/index.php/dossiers/english/C23 EU4Journalists.eu] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081201083153/http://www.eu4journalists.eu/index.php/dossiers/english/C23 |date=1 December 2008 }}, Economic and Monetary Union and the Euro eu4journalists, accessed 8 January 2008</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://ec.europa.eu/economy_finance/euro/countries/sweden_en.htm |title=European Commission > Economic and Financial Affairs > The euro > Your country and the euro > Sweden and the euro |publisher=Ec.europa.eu |date=30 May 2012 |access-date=2012-12-10}}</ref> Sweden maintains that joining the [[European Exchange Rate Mechanism|European Exchange Rate Mechanism II (ERM II)]], participation in which for at least two years is a requirement for euro adoption, is voluntary,<ref>{{cite web |date=28 August 2013 |title=Sverige sa nej till euron |url=http://www.eu-upplysningen.se/Sverige-i-EU/Sverige-sa-nej-till-euron/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170919201011/http://www.eu-upplysningen.se:80/Sverige-i-EU/Sverige-sa-nej-till-euron |archive-date=19 September 2017 |access-date=12 August 2014 |publisher=Swedish Parliament |language=sv}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url=https://economy-finance.ec.europa.eu/euro/enlargement-euro-area/adoption-fixed-euro-conversion-rate/erm-ii-eus-exchange-rate-mechanism_en | title=Information on ERM II | publisher=European Commission | access-date=10 April 2023}}</ref> and has chosen to remain outside pending public approval by a referendum, thereby intentionally avoiding the fulfilment of the adoption requirements.

==Status==
[[File:Euro exchange rate to SEK.svg|thumb|EUR-SEK exchange rate since 1999]]
The Swedish krona had a fixed exchange rate from the last devaluation in 1982, until 1992. On 17 May 1991, the Swedish Central Bank pegged the krona to the [[European Currency Unit]] (ECU), but outside the [[European Exchange Rate Mechanism]] ERM I. The pegging was unilateral. At first, the ECU attachment seemed to bring about increased confidence in the Swedish krona, but this was only temporary. A 500 percent marginal interest rate for a short period was not enough to defend the krona against speculation, and Sweden had to abandon the fixed exchange rate in 16 September 1992.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20061229082801/http://www.riksbank.se/templates/Page.aspx?id=9139 Swedish Central Bank history], updated 2004-03-11</ref>

Sweden joined the [[European Union]] in 1995 and its [[Treaties of the European Union#Ratified treaties|accession treaty]] has since obliged it to adopt the euro once the country is found to comply with all the [[euro convergence criteria|convergence criteria]]. However, one of the requirements for eurozone membership is two years' membership of [[ERM II]], and Sweden has chosen not to join this mechanism, which would peg the Swedish currency to the euro ±2.25%. The Swedish krona ([[Swedish krona|SEK]]) floats freely alongside other currencies.  Most of Sweden's major parties believe that it would be in the national interest to join, but they have all pledged to abide by the result of the referendum.

[[Olli Rehn]], the EU commissioner for economic affairs, has said that it is up to Swedish people to decide when to adopt the euro.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.europarl.europa.eu/hearings//press_service/product.htm?ref=20100108IPR66990&language=EN |title = Summary of hearing of Olli Rehn – Economic and Monetary Affairs (Hearings – Institutions – 12-01-2010 – 09:39) |date = 11 January 2011 |publisher = [[European Parliament]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120118074039/http://www.europarl.europa.eu/hearings/press_service/product.htm?ref=20100108IPR66990&language=EN |archive-date=18 January 2012 |access-date = 11 May 2013  |quote =Olle Schmidt (ALDE, SE) inquired whether Sweden could still stay out of the Eurozone.

(See below.) <!-- See the "usage today" chapter. -->

Sweden meets four of five conditions for joining the euro as of June 2022. The table below gives further details:

==History==

=== Early monetary unions in Sweden (1873–1914) ===

On 5 May 1873 Denmark with Sweden fixed their currencies against gold and formed the [[Scandinavian Monetary Union]]. Prior to this date Sweden used [[Swedish riksdaler]]. In 1875 Norway joined this union. An equal valued krona of the monetary union replaced the three legacy currencies at the rate of 1 krona = ½ [[Danish rigsdaler]] = ¼ [[Norwegian speciedaler]] = 1 Swedish riksdaler. The new currency (krona) became a legal tender and was accepted in all three countries – Denmark, Sweden and Norway. This monetary union lasted until 1914, when it was brought to an end by World War I. As of 2014, the names of the currencies in each country have remained unchanged ("krona" in Sweden, "krone" in Norway and Denmark).

===Joining the European Union===
The [[1994 Swedish European Union membership referendum|Swedish European Union membership referendum of 1994]] approved—with a 52% majority—the Accession Treaty<ref>{{cite web| url=https://www.consilium.europa.eu/App/accords/Default.aspx?command=details&id=297&lang=EN&aid=1994028&doclang=EN | title=European Union Agreement Details | publisher=Council of the European Union | access-date=7 November 2010}}</ref> and in 1995 Sweden joined the EU. According to the treaty Sweden is obliged to adopt the euro once it meets convergence criteria.

===2003 referendum===
{{Main|Swedish euro referendum, 2003}}

A [[referendum]] held in September 2003 saw 55.9 percent vote against membership of the eurozone. As a consequence, Sweden decided in 2003 not to adopt the euro for the time being. If they had voted in favour, Sweden would have adopted the euro on 1 January 2006.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.riksbank.se/templates/speech.aspx?id=8127 |title=Heikensten: The Riksbank and the euro |date=17 June 2003 |publisher=Sveriges Riksbank |access-date=26 December 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071214135217/http://www.riksbank.se/templates/speech.aspx?id=8127 |archive-date=14 December 2007 }}</ref>

A majority of voters in [[Stockholm County]] voted in favour of adopting the euro (54.7% "yes", 43.2% "no"). In [[Skåne County]] the people voting "yes" (49.3%) outnumbered the people voting "no" (48.5%), although the invalid and blank votes resulted in no majority for either option. In all other polls in Sweden, the majority voted no.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.electoralgeography.com/new/en/countries/s/sweden/sweden-euro-referendum-2003.html |title=Sweden.

[[Image:Euro automat.jpg|thumb|This [[Automated teller machine|ATM]] gives out both euros and kronor.]]

Some shops, hotels and restaurants may accept euros, often limited to notes and giving change in Swedish Krona. This is especially common in some border cities. Shops especially oriented towards foreign tourists are more likely to accept foreign currencies (such as the euro) than other shops. [[Payphone]]s in Sweden were able to accept coins in both Swedish kronor and euro since the year 2000.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.dn.se/blogg/epstein/2016/04/27/47426/ |title=Den gamla telefonkiosken, vart har den tagit vägen?

===Municipalities===

==== Official currency status ====
Matters such as official currency status and legal tender issues are decided by the Swedish parliament, and the euro is not an official currency of any part of Sweden. Nevertheless, politicians from some municipalities (see below) have claimed that the euro is an official currency of their municipalities. This means that the municipality has made an agreement with many shops that they should accept euros (in cash and credit cards).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nordea.se/sitemod/upload/root/se_org/foretag/tjanster/faktablad/resurs/pdf/KortAccept.pdf |title=Facts about card acceptance package from the bank, read about "Multicurrency" |access-date=2012-12-10 |archive-date=4 November 2005 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051104023038/http://www.nordea.se/sitemod/upload/root/se_org/foretag/tjanster/faktablad/resurs/pdf/KortAccept.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref> However this is not mandatory for the stores and the status as "official currency" is mostly a marketing device rather than a legal mandate.

====Haparanda====
The only Swedish city near the eurozone is [[Haparanda]],<ref>Near could be defined as within 50&nbsp;km or 30 minutes' driving. Norrtälje is 80&nbsp;km and more than two hours travel from Mariehamn. Regarding the definition of "city" see [[Stad (Sweden)]] and [[:sv:Lista över städer i Sverige|List of traditional Swedish cities (in Swedish)]].</ref> where almost all stores accept euros as cash and often display prices in euros. Haparanda has become an important shopping city with the establishment of [[IKEA]] and other stores. 200,000 Finns live within 150&nbsp;km distance.

Some municipalities, especially Haparanda, wanted to have the euro as a legally official currency,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://euobserver.com/9/4626 |title=Swedish mayor wants to abolish the kronor |date=20 December 2001 |publisher=EUobserver |access-date=26 December 2008 }}</ref> and, for example, contract salaries in euros to employees from Finland. However, this is illegal due to tax laws{{Citation needed|reason=Why can't you pay Swedish tax on SEK income received in Sweden? If you as a Swedish resident do a temporary work (e.g. attend a conference) in another country, you are paid salary in Sweden anyway. Of course the bank can send the money to some other country.|date=September 2009}} and salary rules. (The actual payment can be in euro, handled by the bank, but the salary contract and the tax documentation must be in kronor).

Haparanda's budget is presented in both currencies.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://europa.eu/legislation_summaries/economic_and_monetary_affairs/introducing_euro_practical_aspects/l25058_en.htm |title=The introduction of euro banknotes and coins: one year on |date=29 June 2006 |publisher=Europa |access-date=26 December 2008 }}</ref> Haparanda has a close cooperation with the neighbour city of [[Tornio]], Finland.

====Höganäs====
The town of [[Höganäs]] claimed to have adopted the euro for shops on 1 January 2009.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://hd.se/hoganas/2009/01/03/delade-meningar-hos-handlare/ |title=Delade meningar om euro hos handlare |access-date=2011-02-01 |last=Bjällstrand |first=Richard |date=3 January 2009 |work=Helsingborgs Dagblad |language=sv |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110927013951/http://hd.se/hoganas/2009/01/03/delade-meningar-hos-handlare/ |archive-date=27 September 2011 }}</ref> From that date, all residents can use either kronor or euro in restaurants and shops, as well as in payments of rent and bills. Dual pricing is used at many places and [[Automated teller machine|ATM]]s dispense either currency without additional charge (the latter is law all over Sweden). Around 60 percent of stores in the town are reported to have signed up to the scheme and local banks have developed guidelines to accept euro deposits.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.thelocal.se/20090102/16692 | title = Swedish town adopts euro | access-date = 2015-02-15 | last = Vinthagen Simpson | first = Peter | date = 2 January 2009 | work = The Local}}</ref> This decision was approved and agreed by municipality of Höganäs.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://hd.se/hoganas/2008/09/05/euron-blir-gaangbar-valuta-i/ | title = Euron blir gångbar valuta i Höganäs | access-date = 2011-02-01 | last = Rantala | first = Anette | date = 5 September 2008 | work = Helsingborgs Dagblad | language = sv | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080918225204/http://hd.se/hoganas/2008/09/05/euron-blir-gaangbar-valuta-i/ | archive-date = 18 September 2008 }}</ref> Höganäs has developed a special euro logo for the city. It is not a law in Höganäs, just a recommendation. This has been a rather successful PR coup, with good coverage in newspapers, and it has been mentioned also in foreign newspapers.<ref>{{cite news | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7798060.stm | title = Swedish town aims to be 'euro-city' | access-date = 2011-02-01 | last = Buchanan | first = Michael | date = 29 December 2008 | work = BBC News | publisher = BBC}}</ref>

====Helsingborg, Landskrona and Malmö====
Some shops accept euros, and price tags in euros exist in some tourist oriented shops, as in more cities in Sweden. Acceptance of and price tags in [[Danish krone]]r are probably more common. Euro (and Danish krone) are typically accepted at 24-hour open petrol stations, international fast food chains and at hotels.

====Pajala and Övertorneå====
The [[Pajala]] and [[Övertorneå]] municipalities have borders to Finland (and thus to the eurozone). The euro is often accepted in shops and sometimes shown on price tags,<ref>Example: [https://pajala.se/Pajala-kommun/Kultur-och-Fritid/Badhus/ Pajala badhus]</ref> but there is no official adoption of the euro from the municipality point of view. There was a rejected political proposal to officially adopt the euro in Pajala.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.pajala.se/mun/pajala/www.nsf/e573c3da789e3f8bc1256c6a0038b87b/3c04a76f743666b3c12574ec0025b51b/$FILE/DOCksau090928farg.pdf | title = Sammanträdesprotokoll.

====Sollentuna====
There was a political proposal in June 2009 from a party in the [[Sollentuna Municipality]], that the municipality should adopt the euro as its parallel currency in 2010.<ref name=sollentuna>{{cite news|author=Anna Gustafsson |url=http://www.svd.se/nyheter/inrikes/artikel_3062841.svd |title=SVD.se |newspaper=Svenska Dagbladet |language=sv |publisher=SVD.se |date=14 June 2009 |access-date=2012-12-10}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sollentuna.se/Documents/om_kommunen/Sollentunajournalen/Sollentunajournalen%20nr%207%202009.pdf |title=Sollentuna.se |access-date=2012-12-10 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120707193954/http://www.sollentuna.se/Documents/om_kommunen/Sollentunajournalen/Sollentunajournalen%20nr%207%202009.pdf |archive-date=7 July 2012 }}</ref>

====Stockholm====
Stockholm is the most important tourist city in Sweden, measured as the number of nights spent by tourists. Some tourist-oriented shops accept euros, although there is no official policy from the municipality. [[Taxicab|Taxi]] services in Stockholm can be paid in euros.<ref>[https://taxijakt.se/taxi-stockholm Taxijakt.se][http://www.taxistockholm.se/english/Fares--Payment/Payment/ TaxiStockholm.se] [http://www.taxikurir.se/orterisverige/stockholm/taxikurirstockholm/varatjanster.4.7017056e11fcce66e6580002421.html TakiKurir.se] [http://www.taxi020.se/webpage.aspx?ID=4708 Taxi020.se] [http://kontela.se/ Kontela.se]</ref> In 2009 there was a rejected political proposal to officially introduce the euro in Stockholm.<ref name=sollentuna/>

===Cash machines===
Some [[Automated teller machine|cash machine]]s can dispense foreign currency. Usually euros, but sometimes [[pound sterling|British pounds]], US dollars, [[Danish krone]]r or [[Norwegian krone]]r can be dispensed instead. All of these cash machines also dispense Swedish kronor. Most of these cash machines are located in major cities, international airports and border areas.

===Presence of the euro in Swedish law and bank system===
The euro is present in some elements of Swedish law, based on [[EU directive]]s. For example, an EU directive states that all transactions in euros inside the EU shall have the same fees as euro transactions within the country concerned.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.riksdagen.se/webbnav/index.aspx?nid=3911&bet=1999:268 |title=Lag (1999:268) om betalningsöverföringar inom Europeiska ekonomiska samarbetsområdet |date=12 May 1999 |publisher=Sveriges riksdag |language=sv |access-date=26 December 2008 }} implementing [http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:31997L0005:EN:NOT Directive 97/5/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 1997 on cross-border credit transfers]</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/ALL/?uri=CELEX%3A32009R0924|title=EUR-Lex – 32009R0924 – EN – EUR-Lex|website=eur-lex.europa.eu}}</ref> 
The Swedish government has made an amendment<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.riksdagen.se/webbnav/index.aspx?nid=3911&bet=2002:598 |title=Lag (2002:598) om avgifter för vissa gränsöverskridande betalningar |date=13 June 2002 |publisher=Sveriges riksdag |language=sv |access-date=8 January 2009 }}</ref> which states that the directive also applies to krona-based transactions. This means, for example, that euros can be withdrawn without fees from Swedish banks at any ATM in the eurozone, and that krona- and euro-based transfers to bank accounts in the [[European Economic Area]] can be done over the internet without a sending fee. The receiving banks can still sometimes charge a fee for receiving the payment, though, although the same EU directive typically makes this impossible for euro-based transfers to eurozone countries. This is different from, for example, Denmark where banks are required to set the price for international euro transactions within the [[European Economic Area]] to the same price as for domestic Danish euro transactions (which does not have to be the same as the price for domestic Danish krone transactions). However, banks in Sweden still decide the exchange rate, and so are able to continue charging a small percentage for exchanging between kronor and euros when using card payments.

It is also now possible for [[Private company limited by shares|limited companies]] (companies limited by shares) to have their accounts and share capital denominated in euros.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.riksdagen.se/webbnav/index.aspx?nid=3911&bet=2000:46 |title=Lag (2000:46) om omräkningsförfarande vid beskattning för företag som har sin redovisning i euro, m.m. |date=10 February 2000 |publisher=Sveriges riksdag |language=sv |access-date=26 December 2008 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.riksdagen.se/webbnav/index.aspx?nid=3911&bet=2005:551 |title=Aktiebolagslag (2005:551) |date=16 June 2005 |publisher=Sveriges riksdag |language=sv |access-date=26 December 2008 }}</ref>
The law about [[money laundering]] is based on an EU directive and sets a limit of €5,000 for cash transactions to be investigated regarding origin of money and receipts to be claimed, by companies such as banks, car dealers etc.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.riksdagen.se/sv/dokument-lagar/dokument/svensk-forfattningssamling/lag-2017630-om-atgarder-mot-penningtvatt-och_sfs-2017-630|title=Lag (2017:630) om åtgärder mot penningtvätt och finansiering av terrorism Svensk författningssamling 2017:2017:630 t.o.m. SFS 2021:517 – Riksdagen|website=riksdagen.se}}</ref>

Many more Swedish laws today include amounts in euro due to EU directives.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://lagen.nu/search/?q=euro|title=2883 träffar för 'euro'|website=lagen.nu}}</ref>

==Plans==
Most major political parties in Sweden (as of 2006), including the formerly governing coalition [[Alliance for Sweden]] (except the [[Centre Party (Sweden)|Center Party]]) and the currently governing [[Moderate Party]], which won the [[2022 Swedish general election|2022 election]], are in principle in favour of introducing the euro.

[[Tommy Waidelich]], then economic spokesperson for the [[Swedish Social Democratic Party|Social Democratic Party]], ruled out Swedish eurozone membership for the foreseeable future in August 2011.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.stockholmnews.com/more.aspx?NID=7685 |title=Social Democrats: Sweden should stay outside the euro (spokesperson:Waidelich) |publisher=Stockholmnews.com |access-date=2012-12-10 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120328190829/http://www.stockholmnews.com/more.aspx?NID=7685 |archive-date=28 March 2012 }}</ref>

The newspaper [[Sydsvenska Dagbladet]] claimed on 26 November 2007 (a few days after the former [[Prime Minister of Denmark|Danish Prime Minister]], [[Anders Fogh Rasmussen]], had announced plans to hold [[Danish European Union opt-outs referendum|another referendum]] on abolishing Denmark's opt-outs including the opt-out from the euro) that the question of another euro referendum would be one of the central issues of the [[2010 Swedish general election|2010 election in Sweden]].<ref>{{cite web | url=http://europe.courrierinternational.com/eurotopics/article.asp?langue=uk&publication=26/11/2007&cat=ECONOMY&pi=1 | work=Courrier International | title=Denmark and Sweden on the path to the euro? | access-date=26 November 2007 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://archive.today/20080106095752/http://europe.courrierinternational.com/eurotopics/article.asp?langue=uk&publication=26/11/2007&cat=ECONOMY&pi=1 | archive-date=6 January 2008 }}</ref> Prime Minister [[Fredrik Reinfeldt]] stated in December 2007 that when more neighbours use the euro, it will be more visible that Sweden does not.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/article1377536.ab |title=Glöm euron, Reinfeldt |date=2 December 2007 |publisher=Aftonbladet |language=sv |access-date=26 December 2008 }}</ref>

During the election campaign for the [[2009 European Parliament election in Sweden|2009 European Parliament elections]], the [[Liberal People's Party (Sweden)|Liberal People's Party]] and [[Christian Democrats (Sweden)|Christian Democrats]] expressed interest in holding a second referendum on euro adoption. However, the [[Moderate Party]] and [[Centre Party (Sweden)|Centre Party]] thought that the time was ill-chosen.<ref>{{cite news|author=Erika Svantesson |url=http://www.dn.se/fordjupning/europa-2009/alliansen-splittrad-i-eurofragan/ |title=Alliansen splittrad i eurofrågan |website=DN.se |publisher=Dagens Nyheter AB |language=sv |trans-title=Alliance fragmented over euro question |date=9 May 2009 |access-date=2014-12-18}}</ref>

===2014 European elections===

===Growing support in 2023===
As a result of an increase in support in recent opinion polls and the twentieth anniversary of the first euro referendum in Sweden, the question about organizing a second euro referendum received renewed attention in September 2023; although only one of the Swedish parliamentary parties ([[Liberals (Sweden)|Liberalerna]]) opted to push for introducing the euro as swiftly as possible,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://omni.se/fler-positiva-till-euro-debatten-har-tagit-fart/a/4o8yQG |title=Fler positiva till euro: ”Debatten har tagit fart”|trans-title=More positive towards the euro: "The debate has gained momentum"|language=Swedish|date=12 September 2023|publisher=Omni|access-date=12 March 2024}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://omni.se/l-vi-maste-infora-euron-sverige-kan-inte-vanta/a/KnAyq6 |title=L: Vi måste införa euron – Sverige kan inte vänta|trans-title=L: We must introduce the euro - Sweden cannot wait|language=Swedish|date=13 September 2023|publisher=Omni|access-date=12 March 2024}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dn.se/sverige/dn-ipsos-fler-vill-byta-ut-kronan-mot-euron/ |title=DN/Ipsos: Fler vill byta ut kronan mot euron|trans-title=DN/Ipsos: More people want to exchange the krone for the euro|language=Swedish|date=13 September 2023|publisher=Dagens Nyheter|access-date=12 March 2024}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dn.se/ekonomi/sverige-klarar-tre-av-fyra-kriterier-for-att-bli-medlem/ |title=Sverige klarar tre av fyra kriterier för att bli medlem|trans-title=Sweden meets three out of four criteria to become a member|language=Swedish|date=15 September 2023|publisher=Dagens Nyheter|access-date=12 March 2024}}</ref> while the [[Centre Party (Sweden)|Centerpartiet]] opted to open up an investigation into the pros and cons.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.svt.se/nyheter/inrikes/centerpartiet-vill-utreda-euron |title=Centerpartiet vill utreda euron|trans-title=The Center Party wants to investigate the euro|language=Swedish|date=30 September 2023|publisher=[[Sveriges Television]]|access-date=12 March 2024}}</ref>

==Economic research==
A 2009 economic study from J. James Reade ([[university of Oxford|Oxford]]) and Ulrich Volz ([[German Development Institute]]) on the possible entry of Sweden in the eurozone has found that it would be likely to have a positive effect. The study of the evolution of the Swedish money market rates shows that they closely follow the euro rates, even during times of economic crisis. This shows that Sweden would not lose in terms of monetary policy autonomy, as the Swedish Central Bank already closely follows the rates set by the European Central Bank. When adopting the euro, Sweden would swap this autonomy on paper for a real influence on the European monetary policy thanks to the gaining of a seat in the ECB's governing council. Overall, the study concludes that "staying outside of the eurozone implies forgone benefits that Sweden, a small open economy with a sizable and internationally exposed financial sector, would enjoy from adopting an international currency."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.economics.ox.ac.uk/research/WP/pdf/paper442.pdf |title=Economics.ox.ac.uk |access-date=2012-12-10 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120222072956/http://www.economics.ox.ac.uk/research/WP/pdf/paper442.pdf |archive-date=22 February 2012 }}</ref>

==Opinion polls==
Former Prime Minister [[Fredrik Reinfeldt]] stated in December 2007 that there would be no new referendum until there was stable support for "yes" in the polls.<ref name=aftonbladetreinfeldt>{{Cite web|url=http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/article1377536.ab |title= Glöm euron, Reinfeldt| publisher=[[Aftonbladet]] | date=2 December 2007 | access-date=3 February 2008 | language=sv}}</ref>

From 2004-2009, polls generally showed stable support for the "no" alternative, except for a few polls in 2009 which showed a narrow lead for "yes". Strong support for "no" existed from 2010-2014, e.g., with 73% opposing and only 23% supporting euro introduction in a November 2014 poll.<ref name="Eurobarometer_autumn_2014"/> According to [[Eurobarometer]] polls, the numbers of Swedes favouring adoption of the euro in Sweden grew to 32% in April 2015,<ref name="2015-04 Eurobarometer"/> 45% in April 2022<ref name="Eurobarometer_apr_2022"/> and 54% in April 2023.<ref name="Eurobarometer_apr_2023"/>

===Results===
Polls on the question whether Sweden should abolish the krona and join the euro are regularly carried out, usually by the state statistics agency [[Statistics Sweden]] (SCB). The results are always published in the press or online.

====Critique of polling questions====
How the polling questions are phrased has a major impact on how people respond. The SCB polling question tends to measure if the electorate favor voting yes/no for Sweden to adopt the euro as soon as possible. However, polls conducted by ''TNS Polska'' in Poland showed that this question finds a large group of supporters of euro adoption would vote no to adopting the euro as soon as possible, but that a majority of them would vote yes if asked whether or not the state should adopt the euro ten years from now.

==Swedish euro coins==
There are no designs for potential Swedish euro coins. It was reported in the media that when Sweden changed the design of the [[Swedish krona#Coins|1-krona coin]] in 2001 it was in preparation for the euro. A newer portrait of the king was introduced. The 10-kronor coin already had a similar portrait. This in fact is from a progress report by the [[Riksbank]] on possible Swedish entry into the euro, which states that the lead in time for coin changeover could be reduced through using the portrait of [[Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden|King Carl XVI Gustaf]] introduced on the 1- and 10-kronor coins in 2001 as the national side on Swedish [[1 euro coins|1-]] and [[2 euro coins]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.riksbank.com/upload/Dokument_riksbank/Kat_publicerat/Rapporter/Lagesrapport7eng.pdf |title=The Euro in the Swedish Financial Sector – Banknotes and Coins |date=September 2001 |publisher=Sveriges Riksbank |access-date=26 December 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060508083214/http://www.riksbank.com/upload/Dokument_riksbank/Kat_publicerat/Rapporter/Lagesrapport7eng.pdf |archive-date=8 May 2006 }}</ref>

Only the national bank can issue [[legal tender]] coins according to Swedish law. Some private collection mint companies have produced Swedish euro coins, claiming that they are copies of test coins made by the [[Riksbank]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eurocoins.co.uk/sweden.html |title=Swedish Euro Coins? |publisher=Chard Limited |access-date=26 December 2008 }}</ref>

== Membership of the European Central Bank's Banking Union ==

Since the rise in resolution fund fees for Swedish banks to protect against banking failures in 2017,<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/sweden-banks-tax/sweden-drops-plans-for-bank-tax-proposes-higher-resolution-fund-fee-idUSL8N1G96CZ|title=Sweden drops plans for bank tax, proposes higher resolution fund fee|date=2017-02-24|work=Reuters|access-date=2017-11-25}}</ref> resulting in the move of the headquarters of the biggest bank in Sweden and the entire [[Nordic region]], [[Nordea]], from [[Stockholm]] to the Finnish capital [[Helsinki]], which lies within the [[eurozone]] and therefore also within the [[European Central Bank]]'s [[Banking Union]], there has been discussion about [[Sweden]] joining the banking union. Nordea's chairman of the board, Björn Wahlroos, stated that the bank wanted to put itself "on a par with its European peers" in justifying the relocation from Stockholm to Helsinki.<ref name="bankunion">{{Cite news|url=https://www.thelocal.se/20171108/should-sweden-join-the-european-banking-union|title=Should Sweden join the European banking union?|date=2017-11-08|work=The Local Sweden|access-date=2017-11-25|language=en}}</ref>

The main aim for joining the Banking Union is to protect Swedish banks against being "too big to fail". Sweden's [[Minister for Financial Markets (Sweden)|Financial Markets Minister]] [[Per Bolund]] has said that the country is conducting a study on joining, which is planned to be completed by 2019.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=83&artikel=6736677|title=Förslag om bankunion med EU om två år – Nyheter (Ekot)|website=Sveriges Radio|date=11 July 2017|language=sv|access-date=2017-11-25|last1=Goksör|first1=Joakim}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-israel-cenbank-currency/israel-central-bank-mulls-issuing-digital-currency-for-faster-payments-idUSKBN1EI0D5|title=Sweden considers joining EU's banking union – TT news agency|date=2017-07-10|publisher=[[Reuters]]|access-date=2017-12-25}}</ref> Critics argue that Sweden will be disadvantaged by joining the banking union because it does not have any voting rights, as it is not a member of the eurozone. Swedish former Finance Minister and former Prime Minister [[Magdalena Andersson]] stated: "You can't ignore the fact that the decision-making can be a little problematic for countries not in the eurozone."<ref name="bankunion" />
