Meanwhile, data from Statistics Sweden showed that Sweden's trade deficit widened to SEK 5.2 billion in November from SEK 0.5 billion in the corresponding month last year. In October, the shortfall was SEK 1.7 billion.

On a seasonally adjusted basis, the net trade deficit for November was SEK 1.7 billion versus SEK 1.1 billion in October.

Against the greenback, the krona rose to more than a 2-month high of 8.3224 from an early low of 8.3782. At yesterday's close, the krona was trading at 8.3689 against the greenback.
