Should Sweden introduce the Euro?


A topic that has been lively debated between my friends and I, for quite some time, has been whether or not Sweden should replace its currency "kronan" with the European "euro". Today there are several economists arguing for a switch, while other economists argue against it. So what is "the right thing to do" then? One thing appears certain: This is an issue where the experts disagree.

While enjoying an amazing mango pie with vanilla cream and hallonsoda at this really nice cafe at Nytorget earlier today, I noticed in the paper that there will be an open lecture at Stockholm University on October 6 on the topic "Should Sweden introduce the euro?" Swedish professor Harry Flam will be sharing his latest findings on the topic. After recently having gotten surprised by the view of a chief economist of a key player on the Swedish trade arena, I'm very excited about hearing Mr Flam's view..
