The worse economic situation means that more and more people choose to pledge their gold and silver. The mortgage bank Sefina in Västerås notices this, seeing a large increase in new customers lately. - Customers tell us that they are having a hard time and want to pay their bills. Then they come here and pawn or sell their things, says Gino Di Giovanni, store manager.
According to Gino Di Giovanni, lending has also increased significantly in the past year.
- Today we see more that people are struggling in the cash register, he says.
He believes that the high pressure at the pawnshop will continue.
- Until the summer anyway.
