A Nordic country will decide to get rid of their “kronen” and introduce it in 2027/2028.
Euro adoption? Nope, guaranteed won’t happen. Norway and Iceland aren’t EU members and Finland already adopted the Euro. Denmark has a permanent opt-out and will never be required to adopt the Euro, and most Danes oppose adopting it. In Sweden public support for Euro adoption is similarly low, so although the country doesn’t have an opt-out like Denmark, the government uses a legal workaround to avoid adopting it.
Sweden and Finland joined NATO after decades of not being in it. I wouldn’t put it past them to join the Eurozone to be able to get rid of Mastercard and VISA and join WERO.
Mastercard/Visa and Wero is a hot issue on Lemmy, but I would bet the vast majority of Swedes have never heard of Wero and aren’t particularly concerned about Mastercard and Visa being American. Most Swedes have long been wary of the Euro and that’s unlikely to change in the near future.
