The currency is unusually weak - causing problems in several directions

Despite strong government finances and large exports, factors that usually speak for a strong currency, the Swedish krona continues to fall in value.

Since the beginning of the year, the Swedish krona has lost around 10 percent against the euro, which now costs around SEK 11.30.

If you look further back in time, the weakening of the krone is even greater.

Ten years ago, one euro cost only 8.30 and one dollar around 6.50 (today SEK 10.40).

And the fact that the currency is weak causes problems for both households and many companies.

Among other things, a weak currency drives up inflation, something that causes it for Sweden today when inflation is already too high, which increases the pressure on the Riksbank to continue raising interest rates.
