The Swedish krona and monetary independence
The Swedish krona (SEK) is the national currency of Sweden. The country is an EU member but retains the krona: in a 2003 referendum, Swedes voted against adopting the euro. The issuer is the Bank of Sweden (Riksbank), one of the world's oldest central banks. The SEK rate is floating and determined by the state of the country's economy: Sweden is a major exporter of industrial goods and technology, so the krona is sensitive to global demand for industrial products. Riksbank sets the key rate independently from the ECB, giving Sweden monetary policy flexibility that Eurozone members lack.
What drives the RUB to SEK pair
The RUB/SEK pair is formed under the simultaneous influence of factors from both currencies. The ruble responds to oil quotes, inflation in Russia, and CBR rate decisions. The krona - to export demand, inflation in Sweden, and Riksbank decisions. During periods of rising oil prices, the ruble usually strengthens, which reduces the number of rubles per krona. During global economic crises, both currencies may face pressure, but for different reasons. An additional factor is the sanctions regime: limited access to international settlements makes RUB/SEK exchange more complex than for most other currency pairs.
