The Swedish population has become less hostile to the idea of adopting the euro as the krona is trading near its weakest levels ever.

A poll published by Statistics Sweden on Wednesday showed 30.6% would vote in favor of adopting the euro. While 50.5% remains opposed to abandoning the krona, support for the common currency is now at its highest level since the beginning of the European debt crisis more than a decade ago.
