What is EUR/SEK?

EUR/SEK shows how many Swedish kronor are required to buy one euro. The pair reflects the exchange rate between the Eurozone and Sweden and is traded in the global foreign exchange market.

Example: If EUR/SEK = 11.20, one euro equals 11.20 Swedish kronor.

If the price rises to 11.40, the euro has strengthened against the Swedish krona.

If the price falls to 11.00, the Swedish krona has strengthened relative to the euro.

In every forex pair:

• EUR is the base currency
• SEK is the quote currency

Price movements are measured in pips.

• 1 pip = 0.0001
• The fourth decimal place represents one pip

Examples:

• 11.2000 → 11.2001 = 1 pip
• 11.2000 → 11.2010 = 10 pips
• 11.2000 → 11.2100 = 100 pips

EUR/SEK often reflects differences in economic performance between the Eurozone and Sweden, as well as monetary policy decisions by the European Central Bank and the Swedish Riksbank.
