Local currency will give trade a boost – Expressen

An own currency, valid only in Vellinge?

Now, the idea can become a reality – if the Conservatives in the municipality may determine.

The mayor, Carina Wutzler (M), which has proposed the introduction of Vellinge Dollar.

– It would benefit local purchases in the municipality, she said to Sydsvenskan.

At a gathering of local businessmen during the week told Carina Wutzler (M) about the revolutionary idea.

It is thus a completely own currency, Vellinge Dollar, which is only to be used in the municipality.

– I’ve been thinking about it somehow can give residents and tourists extraordinary value for money. Then it had been excited to try a local currency, says Carina Wutzler.



Pay garbage collection with Vellinge Dollar

It should not be a matter of some printed money.

According to Sydsvenskan is instead the idea of ​​a plastic card loaded with Vellinge Dollar. One hundred can then conceivably be converted to Vellinge Dollar, and assigns a value of, say, 110 crowns, which would give residents a local discount

According to Carina Wutzler would benefit local businesses and shops.

Among other things, the idea that the currency to be used in restaurants, museums and public institutions. But even parking fees, rents and garbage can in the future be paid with Vellinge Dollar.

Carina Wutzler argue that the currency is only at the conceptual stage in the current situation.



Gotta have with local shops

– This is just a vision. There are many questions to ponder. The municipality’s not a bank, but perhaps we can be involved and have a coordinating role, she says.

The response from the corporate sector has so far been good. Thomas Claughton-Wallin, president of Vellinge Falsterbo peninsula entrepreneurial group, was present when Carina Wutzler presented his idea.

– You have to get to the local shops and restaurants, but it is a good idea. There is much to gain for all. It currently costs 300 crowns to drive to and from Malmö. The cost, and a discount at the exchange, would mean that one can save a lot of money by shopping locally, he said to Sydsvenskan.

The government of the leghold trap – Vestmanlands County Newspaper

It looks a little better than before. It emerged when the finance minister Magdalena Andersson (S) yesterday presented the economic situation facing the government’s budget negotiations.

The growth chugging along at 2-3 percent. We trade, private consumption is increasing.

Unemployment is falling and the employment rate, ie the proportion who work, are rising. But only fairly moderate. The government has a long way to go before the goal of the EU’s lowest unemployment rate.

The budget deficit is also reduced. The Treasury will end up at a slight plus 2019th

In contrast, estimated prices rise. It tends to be bad, but is now considered good.

Today’s very low or even negative inflation have led the Riksbank to introduce negative interest rates. So when the government believes that price increases next year will be 1.0 percent in 2018 and 2.5 per cent, it is good news!

The Riksbank would then be able to return to what it usually does, ie raise rates to keep inflation low. End of the inverted world.

The government really has a problem with that times will get better. Then it should gather in the barns to invest when times be getting worse.

2019 will be as forecast a small surplus after years of deficits in public finances. It should then be protected, for deficits in bad times require, even if the government goes into a so-called balansmål, matched by surpluses in better times. But 2018 is an election year, then it is usually difficult to hold back.

The government has said that new initiatives must be paid ‘crown for the crown. ” But it can cause political problems.

There are demands from the Left, not least from the LO, that “austerity policies” must be over and that the state should invest significantly. There are plenty of new spending demands from various quarters. Not least from the Left, who expects to be able to influence the budget.

But the government will stick to the “crown crown” need new expenses paid with higher taxes.

Recent increases thus beyond the tax increases the government has already been through. It teaches meet resistance from business owners and from the bourgeois opposition.

In theory, it should not matter what the bourgeois parties do. They have the DIE promised to let through the red-green budget, regardless of content.

But in practice, DIE threatened if the government comes with challenging tax increases firmly angering companies and bourgeois voters. So it becomes tangled.

The view is that the weak growth in the first quarter was temporary.

A favorable factor mentioned is the sharp fall in oil prices, which are expected to have a positive impact on growth in countries that do not produce oil.

Another factor is that the recent tightening fiscal policy in many mature economies look to be over. A third factor promoting the world economy is the expansionary monetary policy around the world.

Moderates new proposals – to introduce new qualifying – Aftonbladet

The Moderates want to introduce a new qualifying day.

The goal is to try to counter the soaring cost of health insurance.

– We want to avoid that you end up in the public health insurance unless it is absolutely necessary, says Ulf Krister Petersson (M).

In today unveiled Moderates economic spokesperson Ulf Krister Petersson Party’s new economic policies a working group worked out during the spring. Previously it has been presented several proposals for new reforms.

Krister Petersson said that a major challenge ahead is to counter the sharp rise in costs in the health insurance system. To counter it back would, among other things, introduce a new waiting period, which will be after the 14th day of illness, then it is the State and not the employer who pays the compensation.

– Both sick leave costs and absenteeism increases. That means four billion kronor each year in new costs. And no one does anything, I do not think it is. We put both long-term proposals for changes that we think may have an effect in a few years but we must also make short-term things that puts an end to a constant increase, says Ulf Krister Petersson.



“Only if absolutely necessary”

However, he adds that the reform will not have any huge consequences.

– But we believe that the signal value is important. This affects no common colds at all. But it avoids the risk that it will into the public health insurance scheme and will remain there unless it is absolutely necessary.

At the same time M do if the qualifying period to a qualifying deduction, which it believes is a fairer system. This means that you lose a day’s income, no matter how many hours they would have worked.

The Moderates are also concerned about the growing migration costs. They want to get to, among other things by introducing a simpler form of housing for unaccompanied refugee children.

– We must have a more efficient refugee. We can not have these hideous costs we have seen the last time concerning unaccompanied minors. We propose a very simple form of housing, says Krister Petersson.

He believes that the system does not cost as much money, but still is a good way to receive those who come.

– If we do not with this I am afraid that there will be increased demand that Sweden should not be an open country. It would be bad for Sweden.



Have changed their minds about the UIF

At the same time is also clear that the Conservatives want to raise the compensation rate of the unemployment insurance fund, something it previously received. The increase is significantly lower than that decided by the Government.

– There is a balance. We see a small increase can be reasonable. But I’m afraid that if you raise the UIF too much we will increase unemployment and then the people who could otherwise enter the labor market kept outside.
