DOMESTIC. Despite the tough times, sales of Ramadan products, which correspond to the Swedish Christmas trade, broke records this year, reports SVT.


The fact that the Christmas trade was characterized by a decline in 2022 is due, according to Swedish Trade, to the fact that more and more households are finding it difficult to make ends meet, as a result of inflation.

But the gloomy times do not seem to have affected the Ramadan industry, where sales broke records this year.

In a store in Skärholmen, there were so many customers that the floor was not visible, according to SVT.

- For almost 15 days there were so many people, says Fadwa Al Sibai who runs the store.

The government's spring budget landed as happy news in Skärholmen, which after Järva has the highest subsidy dependency in the city of Stockholm.

Among other things, large families receive increased housing allowances in Ulf Kristersson's new budget, while election promises such as the abolition of the criticized plastic bag tax are postponed to the future.
