For most of the week, a dollar has cost over $10.80 and has even flirted with the $11 limit. The last time the euro cost over SEK 11 was in 2009 and to find a time when the American currency was close to this expensive for Swedes, you have to go back to 2002.
When the prices of imported goods rise, domestic trade in Sweden also suffers and consumers have less money left in their wallets.Whoever is paid in a stronger foreign currency thus becomes the winner in the current foreign exchange market.
