Sweden’s krona drops to five-months-low

Lets hope no one is planning to go on holiday.

While the kronor has been dropping to a 5 month low against the euro, it seems a far cry from the claims that Sweden was well protected from the troubles in Europe as reported a few months ago.

Hopefully this may help exports from Sweden to rise.
However given the current markets, maybe tourism will be a better option.
All we need to do now is start making Sweden a more desirable destination.

Anyone have any sunshine they would be willing to sell?

a bit more tolerance and live and let live would not go amiss on this forum or in Sweden generally.

It appears that Sweden's tourism doesn't do too badly and has increased a reasonable amount over the last decade or so, which indicates that there are millions of people that already believe Sweden is a desirable destination.

Unfortunately when you say we need to do the we does not really include you, does it! wink.gif
