Survey: Slovenians Well Informed About Euro Changeover20 December 2006
Counting down the final days to the euro changeover, the majority of Slovenians feel they are sufficiently informed about the details concerning the adoption of the new currency, a survey commissioned by Bank of Slovenia, the central bank, revealed on Wednesday. The biggest concern is an increase in prices and people would also like additional information concerning the measures against unwarranted price hikes and the rules on the rounding up of prices. The December survey largely corroborates the findings already reached by similar surveys carried out in June and September. This also goes for the level of general knowledge about the euro, which has even improved slightly as E-day approaches. An improvement was for example recorded in the knowledge concerning the security features of the euro bills. While more than half were still unable to name even one, the share of those who named more than merely the security thread has increased noticeably. The majority said the shift would not affect their attitude towards coins. On the other hand, more than 40% revealed they had stopped using the little worth tolar coins at some time in the past. The survey was carried out by the Ninamedia polling agency on 1.000 respondents between 11 and 13 December. Source: Slovene press agency
