| | The early accession to the EMU is due to the extremely tight monetary policy currently in use, which is the result of Bulgaria's agreement with the Monetary Board. | | | The United Kingdom and Sweden have no plans at present to adopt the euro—however Sweden (unlike the UK and Denmark) does not have a formal opt-out from the monetary union (the third stage of EMU) and therefore must (in theory at least) convert to the euro at some point. | | | In 1999 the Bulgarian currency was re-denominated (1 New Lev = 1000 Old Levs) and the value of the lev was fixed to one German Mark, therefore its value has since been fixed in relation to the euro. |

| | Undermining the Welfare State in Sweden |
| | In May 1991, the new policy was further entrenched, as Sweden tied its krona to the ecu (European Currency Unit, the EC currency), thus making Sweden's monetary policy dependent on that pursued by the German Bundesbank (which has kept interest rates high to finance the German unification, worsening the crisis all over Europe). | | | The deterioration of Sweden's government finances is thus not caused by its welfare system; rather, it was the Reaganite tax reform of 1990 (and further tax breaks since) that created a black hole in the government budget, now to be paid for by the poor and powerless. | | | Rather, Sweden was to have internal austerity (the devaluation lowering real wages, followed by tight fiscal policies and increased interest rates aimed at curbing inflation) coupled with stimulated external demand (using the devaluation to increase Swedish exports, as well as corporate profits). |
