<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>The Swedish Central Bank</strong> made an announcement today. According to the statement, a potential digital Euro would not completely eliminate the Swedish krona. In a staff note published on Tuesday, Sveriges Riksbank highlighted several advantages of the digital Euro for Sweden. These include the possibility of a safer and more competitive payment system.</p> 
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="possible-shift-from-banks">Possible Shift from Banks</h2> 
<p style="text-align: justify">The bank noted that there could be a small shift from traditional bank deposits, while it believes the proposed cap on individual holdings of the digital Euro would have a limited impact. It is noted that the use of the digital Euro may not be limited to Eurozone countries.</p> 
<p style="text-align: justify">Although designed for Eurozone countries, the proposal allows non-Eurozone members to potentially join the system through agreements with the European Central Bank (ECB). This means that access to the digital Euro could be provided equally to individuals and businesses both inside and outside the Eurozone.</p> 
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="institutional-factors">Institutional Factors</h2> 
<p style="text-align: justify">The Swedish Central Bank argued that institutional factors would not “displace” the krona, downplaying the potential impact on the krona of a possible agreement. For example, it noted that payments involving the government are made in <strong>Swedish krona</strong> and that the krona is established as the country’s primary currency. Therefore, it highlighted that Swedes and businesses tend to prefer the krona.</p> 
<p style="text-align: justify">It is stated that individuals in Sweden could use the digital Euro and businesses could accept digital Euro payments, but they would need to transfer these directly to a bank account. This means that businesses in Sweden would need to operate similarly to their counterparts in the Eurozone.</p> 
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="eu-s-digital-euro">EU’s Digital Euro</h2> 
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>The European Central Bank</strong> (ECB) launched the digital Euro project late last year, and now we see progress in this project. This journey, which began with a two-year planning process, is filled with goals such as setting rules, selecting private sector partners, and conducting tests and experiments.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify">According to this draft proposal by the European Union, the advantages offered by the digital Euro are quite attractive. However, the potential risks of not having a digital Euro should not be overlooked.</p> 
<p style="text-align: justify">The draft rules give the ECB the authority to limit how much individuals can hold in digital currency. Discussions are ongoing about this potential limit, which could be between 3,000 and 4,000 euros.</p> 
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="sweden-s-e-krona-underpins-the-digital-euro">Sweden’s e-Krona Underpins the Digital Euro</h2> 
<p style="text-align: justify">A potential disadvantage of the digital Euro is the risk of threatening the stability of the Swedish Krona. High inflation could cause <a href="https://finance.coin-turk.com/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer">price</a> fluctuations, which could create concern in Sweden. In this case, businesses might price products in euros, and people might prefer to keep part of their money in the euro, perceived as a more stable currency. As a result, a process known as “flight to quality” could occur, ultimately weakening the krona.</p> 
<p style="text-align: justify">Additionally, the decision to launch Sweden’s e-Krona or digital krona depends on the development of the digital Euro. According to the bank, the e-krona would strengthen the Swedish krona in the local <a href="https://finance.coin-turk.com/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer">market</a> if the digital Euro gains widespread acceptance.</p> 
<p style="text-align: justify">Furthermore, leveraging the technology and regulations developed for the <strong>digital Euro</strong> could significantly reduce the cost and complexity of launching the e-krona. Finally, the concurrent use of both digital currencies could lead to smoother cross-border payments.</p>
