Swedish crowns. Dynamics of the Swedish krona (SEK) exchange rate to the ruble, dollar, euro

The Kingdom of Sweden, the state of Scandinavia, joined the European Union twenty years ago. But to date, the country continues to "walk" the Swedish krona - the national currency of the country. Nominal banknotes - from 20 to 1000 Swedish kronor. Along with it, use the euro. Today Sweden is one of the states with the most stable economy, accordingly, Swedish krones are also considered a strong currency.

Crown appearance

During the accession to the European Union, a large part of the population voted to keep the Swedish crowns in use, and the euro was not.

The Swedish krone is the monetary unit of the country of the same name. In the beginning of the XVI century the means of payment in this state were called the riksdaler. Money they became in the very beginning of the XVII century, while the cost was not specified and prescribed by hand.

The end of the 19th century was marked by the appearance of the Scandinavian Currency Union. It also includes Denmark and Norway. So there was a crown, a new name for the currency of the Swedes. The start of World War I put an end to the union, the Union disintegrated, but the names of the country's national currencies were preserved.

In translation, the "crown" is the crown. Therefore, it is depicted on most of the coins of this country. It is believed that this money - one of the most beautiful.

In the 50-ies of the XX century, the rate of Swedish money tied to the value of the US dollar. In the late 80-ies of the XX century, the National Bank forms a course of national money, relying on the indicators of the multi-currency basket.

The rate of the Swedish krona to the US dollar today is about 8.42 kroons.

Denominations of denominations and coins

The inhabitants of the country designate their money like this - kr.

Writing world - SEK.

In one crown a hundred era.

Today in everyday life there are bills:

- 20 kroons. One side is the author of a large number of fairy tales by Selma Lagerlef. On the other hand, Niels, the hero of one of her books.

- 50 kroons. On the banknote you will find Jenny Lind (opera singer).

- 100 kroons. The image of Karl Linnaeus.

- 500 CZK: depicts the ruler of Charles XI and the inventor from Sweden and industrialist Christopher Polhema.

- 1000 CZK: view of Gustav Vasa, ruler of Sweden.

Coins exist 1, 5, 10 SEK.

At the beginning of last year, the National Bank of the country decided to make adjustments to the images and dignities of the currency. The result was the appearance of a 200 SEK banknote and a 2 SEK coin.

The bank announced the appearance of banknotes with new types. According to rumors, on the banknotes portraits of three women and three men will be depicted. By this, the bank wants to demonstrate equality of the sexes.

Is it worth taking cash?

Today, Sweden is considered a rich country with a stable economy and political structure. As a consequence, its currency appears, perhaps, the most reliable.

As already mentioned, the country entered the European Union, but its citizens did not recognize the euro and decided that they will continue to use their currency. The euro, however, remained as a means of payment.

In Sweden everywhere they will accept a plastic card. In addition, there is a large network of ATMs operating around the clock. If you urgently need to withdraw an amount not exceeding 2000 SEK, this is done at the cashier of any store when paying for goods with a card. It is only important to remember the rate of the Swedish krone in relation to the ruble, in order to calculate how much they will write off your card in the ruble equivalent.

Walking in the country of the euro

In the absence of a card, calmly go to Sweden with the European currency. Most shops, catering establishments, hotels will accept the euro, especially if located in tourist areas. But know, the cost of the commission will be unprofitable, so the Swedish krona to the euro is a bad exchange, if you change it in the institution itself.

In order for the exchange rate to be profitable, change the currency at the exchange points. True, today not all banks make this exchange.

Exchange points are in every city. Working hours are from 07-00 to 19-00 every day, without days off. While credit institutions operate only on weekdays and only up to 15-00.

Import and Export

You can import and export any type of currency unlimitedly.

From the country you can export foreign currency without restrictions. But the Swedish crowns are allowed to export no more than 6,000.

Rate

The dynamics of the Swedish krone to the other currencies is changing every day. Therefore, if you are going to Sweden, before the trip check their ratio again.

Today, 10 SEK is equal to 1.2 US dollars. Or one krone is equal to 0.12 US dollars.

The Swedish krona to the ruble: for today for 9.3 rubles you can buy one Swedish krona.

One crown is equal to 0.11 European currency. And for one euro will give 9.5 kroons.

Therefore, the Swedish krona to the euro is the best option for exchange.

Crown and ruble

The exchange rate of the SEK to the Russian ruble is floating. So, if on January 1, 2016 the rate was 8.67 rubles. For 1 crown, then today the growth was 9.3 rubles. For 1 SEK. It is worth considering that these values may be different at the beginning and at the end of the trading day. The Swedish krona to the ruble is thus strengthened. This suggests that the ruble is losing its positions not only to common currencies, but to all others.

Crown strength

According to world analysts, Swedish krones are almost the most stable currency. All because Sweden is a country where a very strong economy, where the government strictly monitors the level of national debt, trade balance and budget.

Monetary policy of other states, according to experts, has many shortcomings that the rulers want to close by issuing new notes. This fact negatively affects the stability of the national currencies of such countries, while benefiting the currency of Sweden.

Recently, the krone exchange rate has strengthened strongly against the Japanese yen.

Today in Sweden adhere to the floating exchange rate, which fluctuates on the basis of the situation in the currency and stock markets.

Stability of the course

SEK is in the top ten most popular currencies, which are used in international settlements. At the same time, it is considered the most highly liquid currency, the turnover of trade on the foreign exchange market is about $ 30 billion.

The national currency of Sweden consists of a list of seventeen currencies that are included in the CLS payment system. This system was created primarily to eliminate market risk, which is associated with the conduct of operations in the foreign exchange market (the so-called Hurstatt risk).

Most experts agree that, together with Canadian and Australian dollars, the Danish and Swedish krona are today the most stable and predictable currencies.

Swedish koruns are heavily dependent on economic and financial policies pursued by the state. Earlier it was mentioned that in the early 1990s a floating exchange rate was established. And until 2002, it remained the same in relation to all currencies. But after that, until the next crisis of 2008, he maintained his stability against the euro.

The results of the crisis: the National Bank cut the interest rate. As a result, the crown lost about 20% in price. There were no attempts to strengthen its bank. This was done to weaken the national currency and reduce prices for exports of products, which increased its competitiveness.

Today the cost of the Swedish krona is growing. This affects the stability of the economy, the budget surplus and the reduction of public debt.
