A month that climbed step by step
The krona opened August on the front foot. After a small dip on August 4, the rate fell to 10.963 on August 5 and to the monthly low of 10.924 on August 6, when a single euro bought the fewest kronor of the whole month. That was the best day to buy euros with Swedish money.
From there the euro recovered in small steps. It went back above 11 on August 13, slipped to 10.999 the next day, and then rose almost without a pause. The biggest daily move of the month came on August 20, a gain of 0.44% that lifted the rate to 11.088. A short pullback followed on August 21, and the last week pushed the euro to its peak on August 31.
Counting the days, the euro gained against the krona on 14 fixings and lost on 7. Most moves were small, well under half a percent, which is typical for this pair. What made the month stand out was the persistence, with one direction for most of three weeks.

Compared with July and with a year earlier
The monthly averages hide the late climb. August averaged 11.023, which is 0.2% below the July average of 11.046, so over the whole month the krona was marginally stronger than in July. Only the closing days told a weaker story for the Swedish currency.
A year earlier, in August 2025, the euro averaged 11.161 kronor. This August was 1.23% below that level. Anyone who paid euro invoices from a Swedish account in both summers needed fewer kronor this year.
Who gained and who lost
Swedes spending in the euro area. A holiday budget converted at the start of the month went further. At the August 6 low, each krona was worth more euros than on any other day. The inverse average for the month was 0.09072 euros per krona.
Euro earners paid in Sweden. A consultant based in Germany or Finland with a client in Stockholm got more euros per krona early in the month. A conversion on August 31 gave the fewest euros for the same kronor amount.
Swedish exporters invoicing in euros. The late climb helped them. Euro receipts converted near the end of August turned into more kronor than those converted in the first week.
Reading the rate correctly
The figure 11.023 means kronor per one euro. When the number rises, the euro gets more expensive for Swedish buyers. The ECB fixes this rate once a business day at about 16:00 Central European Time, and commercial providers add their spread on top.
