Norwegians still shopping in Sweden

Quick Summary:

Norwegians spent NOK 583 million more shopping in Sweden during the first half of this year than they did last year.

That’s up nearly 13 percent from cross-border spending during the same first-half period last year, as Norwegians seek relief from prices that are higher than ever at home.

Norwegians also flock to Swedish pharmacies, along with clothing-, shoe- and sporting goods stores.“It’s cheaper here, and it’s also nice to just get away,” one shopper, Malin Grimnes, told NRK.
