Demand has changed

The fact that a very large number of households have now changed their mortgages with a fixed interest rate to a significantly higher variable interest rate is now clearly visible in society.

In our store, for example, spare parts are now in demand instead of new faucets, as was the case a year ago. There are people who choose not to fix their broken faucets because they think the price of the spare part is too high, with the justification being that it only drips a little.

Another example is that last spring you had to book a table at Stockholm's restaurants compared to yesterday when my husband and I were walking around the city of Stockholm and noticed that almost all the restaurants were empty.

It will be a long and lean winter for many.
