Våra landsmän i Bulgarien, vi är alla EU-medborgare, gillar inte euron

 


The most recent Eurobarometer survey, issued last month, found only 43pc of Bulgarians in favour of the euro, with 50pc against.


European officials portray this as a technical and administrative process that requires Bulgaria to adopt the euro after it signed up to the EU treaties.

There are still half a dozen holdouts against the euro.

Denmark has a formal opt-out, and its voters knocked back the single currency in a referendum in 2000. Sweden also held a referendum three years later that kicked the issue into the long grass.

Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic are all stalling, mostly for political reasons, while Romania has not yet jumped through all the economic and regulatory hoops.

Paschal Donohoe, the Irish finance minister who chairs the eurozone ministerial group calling it “a powerful symbol of our shared sovereignty 

He urged euro supporters not to “step back from the shouting voices” of their opponents.

Fondbolagen höjer sin lönsamhet när kapitalet ökar. Swedbanks fondbolag Robur, noterade en vinst på drygt 2,4 miljarder kronor.  I sin årsredovisning skriver Robur att det framför allt är utvecklingen på världens börser som bidragit till att det förvaltade fondkapitalet ökade med hela 17 procent jämfört med 2022.  SEB kan visa upp ett resultat på närmare 1,4 miljarder kronor för sin verksamhet i SEB Investment Management  Fondbolagens goda lönsamhet baseras på att fondspararna fortfarande är villiga att betala relativt höga avgifter. Den genomsnittliga fondavgiften ligger nu på 1,3 procent enligt en rapport från AMF. I kategorin aktiefonder är snittavgiften 1,45 procent av kapitalet. Svenskarnas samlade fondförmögenhet rekordhöga 7.900 miljarder kronor.
