Will the Danish krone strengthen against the euro?
Some upward pressure is likely, but the krone’s peg to the euro limits major moves; the central bank may act to keep it within the band.
What is the ERM II band for EUR/DKK?
The band is ±2.25% around a central rate of 7.46038, so any krone appreciation would stay within that range.
Could the peg break if pressure intensifies?
Historically unlikely; Denmark has maintained the peg since 1982 and has ample reserves to defend it.
