Swedish voters appear set to reject the euro when a referendum is held next month on whether to adopt the EU’s common currency.
A poll out today showed that euro opponents are still in the lead in the Scandinavian country – 53% against adopting the currency and 43% for.
The monthly poll also found that a majority in Denmark, Sweden’s neighbour, still favour switching from the kroner to the euro.
Along with Britain, the two countries are the only members of the 15-nation EU that have not adopted the euro.
Sweden holds its referendum on September 14 but no plebiscite is planned in Denmark, which has twice rejected the European single currency.
