I think George Soros was one of the people who profited by billions UKP from this forced devaluation.
He's also one of those who sent the Swedish Krona into tailspin. This is why I, a conservative Swede, am for the euro (even though we're still clinging on to the Krona). This, as I call it, "economic terrorism" does not need any national backing, but can be executed by single or a few big players to make enormous amounts of money. Small currencies are especially vulnerable to this kind of abuse.

At least Soros can afford to buy a beer in Sweden!

When I visited Sweden a .25L cost twice as much as a pint in London!

I like the low crown.
I was in Malmo last summer and it was cheap.
I'm going back in August and I hope the Krona remains comatose.

The Problem wi the Euro is that it will permanently bind Sweden to the EU. I suppose Sweden is so socialist it is a lost cause, but the idea is still bad.
