The Danish Krone is pegged to the Euro, within a very tight margin.

And you've missed Poland, Hungary, Czechia, Romania and Bulgaria; these countries don't use the Euro, but aren't usually considered much better off.

Well, Eastern European countries are growing much more rapidly than the others.

But they are definitely different - they were closed economies, way behind, and there's advantages to their having the Euro (should they get it). Which is different from Greece/Spain.

Moreover, they want to be in the Euro :) the Swedes, Danes, English etc. chose to not use it.
