Support for euro adoption is highest since 2009, poll shows. Liberal Party still remains the only force backing the move.

Wasn't the running gag always that Sweden intentionally destabilizes the Krona in order to not have to fulfill their obligation to adopt the euro?

I don't think they need to do it, the ECB or the Commission or EUCO never showed any sign of trying to force their legal obligation to join, so doing nothing is enough not to join. But in any case the weakness is becoming perennial and that's problematic for Sweden.

I'm wondering more if it's even stable enough now for them to fulfill the requirements to actually join.
