According to a statement from the 15 of December by Riksbank (Sweden's central bank), if the legislator chooses to proceed with the asset’s creation, Riksbank is “therefore working to prepare for an issuable e-krona.”

The central bank noted that an e-krona could complement cash as transactions become increasingly digital. In addition, a CBDC such as the e-krona would reduce reliance on private payment services and match the value of the Swedish krona.
