Real hard to have an economy if the government isn't being prudent on how it treats its money be it paper or digital. The latter is much easier to debase, ie the computer while the other is more time consuming and frankly more expensive. This step by Sweden will make it that much harder on the population when the inevitable government debt becomes a noose around the citizens neck. Of course it will make it that much easier on the government there to steal even more from their people until very little is left which I assume is the point of going cashless in the first place.
