The lowdown on the Norwegian Krone
Norwegian Krone Exchange Rate Economical Influences
If you are considering converting AUD to NOK, it is good to get a snapshot on how the economy of the country you are planning to visit may influence the Norway exchange rate.
Norway is one of the world’s most wealthiest countries by GDP due to its abundance in natural resources and strong private sector. It has one of the highest standards of living with an integrated welfare system compared to other European countries and a higher cost of living to match.
Norway is part of Scandinavian Monetary Union since 1875 and the central banks of Denmark, Sweden and Norway acted as a single reserve bank for the Krone. This allowed the three Scandinavian currencies to have equal value when traded with another. However, World War I forced the disbanding of the gold standard system which held the Kroner at equal value. Although the Kroner was no longer interchangeable between the other kroner, the three Scandinavian countries decided to keep the krone as their primary currency.
As Norway is part of the Schengen Agreement1, it allows Australian travelers to enter Norway without a visa for up to 90 days for tourist or business purposes.
