Survey: Slovenians Fear Price Hikes after Euro Changeover8 October 2006
Slovenians fear price hikes, incorrect rounding-up of prices and loss of purchasing power after the euro replaces the Slovenian tolar on 1 January 2007, show the results of a survey, commissioned by the central bank. According to the survey, a third of Slovenians believe that the euro switch will bring positive results for them, while 25% beg to differ, the Bank of Slovenia has said. The results also showed that 80% of the respondents believe they have enough information about the euro while almost 90% also know of the correct date of the switch. Those polled would, however, also like to know more about the measures taken to prevent unjustified price hikes, the tolar-euro exchange rate and the rules for the rounding-up of prices. The survey was carried out between 19 and 22 September by the Ninamedia agency and included 1,000 respondents. Source: Slovene press agency
