    It does, in economics is said to be “pegged” to the euro.

    So I wonder what’s the point of keeping the krona (and I wonder the same for Denmark).

    Just adopt the euro and make things simpler for companies, tourists, etc.!

    Edit: I’m wrong, see below

      People and their traditions. For some, it might feel like losing a part of their identity. Our domestic far-right party of course also eyes with the return of the good old pre-Euro currency.

      I once heard of a Swedish company that used Euros internally. So I looked it up and indeed, the Swedish Companies Registration Office specifically permits either SEK or EUR as accounting currencies for limited companies in Sweden. In such a case, using the Krona is almost merely cosmetic.
