      DKK already is pegged to the euro, so they get the worst of both worlds at the moment. The status quo makes no sense for anyone except sentimental nationalist populists.

      Without any EU reforms adopting the euro is a high-risk move. Denmark has a good economy and it is unclear what advantages it would get from this adoption.

      Hell no. The essence of state power and sovereignty is currency and monetary policy.

      I will never vote to transform our central bank to a currency board and send monetary policy to Frankfurt. Love the EU but the Euro can get fucked.

      And no, currency peg is not the same as currency union.

      Absolutely. Not.

      Let’s have the option to keep monetary autonomy just in case the heads in Brussels gets some wild ideas.

      Besides we often perform above the average in the EU economically, there’s absolutely no good enough reason to switch.

      I don’t understand the Danes here saying that adopting the euro would be bad.

      Wasn’t it Denmark that in 2020 had to spend 40 billion euros and put its interest rate into negative territory because the currency soared against the euro?

      It would also finally eliminate exchange rate costs, they would have a say in the monetary policy they now have to follow due to the peg, they would have access to a MUCH larger financial market and a central bank with MUCH greater financing capacity and they would have a reserve currency

      His argument is valid.

      We (Denmark) have the Krone locked to the Euro already, so we have to follow the the policies of the European Central Bank (ECB), but we don’t have any influence over those policies since we’re not part of the Euro.

      If we switched to the Euro, we would get a say in said policies.

      At this point, I am convinced that the only purpose of the continued existence if the krone is to annoy tourists.

      no thanks, as a principle that there are always room for negotiated compromises in the EU system, that multi-speed integration is allowed, that everybody don’t have to integrate at the same speed…

      I support all voluntary EU integration. when all the EU is fully integrated and our united EU defense armies operational, when everybody in the whole of the EU use €uro and only us that dont, then I will give up my Kroner…

      It would cause lower numbers on price tags, which is a thing we complain about a lot at the moment. I mean, it’d not change the value, but the number will be smaller.

      I see many rational arguments for why Denmark should consider switching to the Euro, and they all make sense, but this independence is founded in emotion.

      Denmark can only join the Euro if a referendum calls for it. Until and unless the majority of Danes feel a strong emotional connection and solidarity with the Eurozone, it will not happen.

      Anything else, no matter how rational, is a waste of time.
