The document discusses the potential introduction of an e-krona digital currency by the Swedish central bank, the Riksbank. It notes that declining cash usage is forcing central banks to consider how to ensure public access to central bank money. The e-krona would aim to ensure this access, as well as resilience, financial inclusion and efficiency. It would not be a cryptocurrency as it would be issued by the Riksbank and tied to the Swedish krona. A decision is expected by late 2018 on whether to introduce an e-krona and if so what technological approach to use.
