Support in Sweden for adopting the euro has been declining over the past year. The majority of Swedes oppose adopting the single European currency. This was reported by Reuters, citing a survey by the Scandinavian country's national statistics office.

The data show that about 28.7% of respondents are in favor of abolishing the krona in favor of the euro. A year earlier, those supporting the currency change were 32 percent.

52.1% of respondents are against joining the eurozone. This is an increase from 2025, when this thesis was supported by 49.5% of Swedish citizens.

In 2003, Sweden held a referendum in which it rejected joining the eurozone.

In January this year, the right-wing party of Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson announced that it would appoint a commission to assess the pros and cons of joining the euro if it remained in power after the general election in September.
