The Swedish krona has experienced significant depreciation against neighboring currencies. In September 2026, data indicated the krona was the worst-performing G10 currency, while the Norwegian krone strengthened due to higher interest rates and energy prices. Olav Chen of Storebrand Asset Management noted that Norway’s 4.25 percent policy rate contrasted sharply with the Swedish Riksbank’s 1.75 percent rate.

This downward trend continued through the end of the month, with the Swedish krona falling seven percent against the Danish krone since February. This shift has resulted in increased affordability for Danish consumers engaging in cross-border shopping in Sweden.
