Stockholm Modecenter
Stockholm Modecenter is a trade center/fashion house for buyers, stylists etc. within the fashion business. After 16 years in Liljeholmen, Stockholm Modecenter in January 2007 moved to new fabulous settings in Järla Sjö. This new fashion oasis with over 20.000m2, houses near to 180 agents with almost to 500 brands. The architecture in the new Modecenter is still very visibly influenced by its history as a turbine, and respectively leather factory. This combined with the added modern interior, with elements of light and transparency in focus, creates an atmosphere which is tailor made for the business. Segmentationing of brand groups helps to enhance the concept. Except for the events that are arranged througout the year Stockholm Modecenter is open for business Monday-Friday.

Sweden Economy
Aided by peace and neutrality for the whole 20th century, Sweden has achieved an enviable standard of living under a mixed system of high-tech capitalism and extensive welfare benefits. It has a modern distribution system, excellent internal and external communications, and a skilled labor force. Timber, hydropower, and iron ore constitute the resource base of an economy heavily oriented toward foreign trade. Privately owned firms account for about 90% of industrial output, of which the engineering sector accounts for 50% of output and exports. Agriculture accounts for only 2% of GDP and of jobs. The government's commitment to fiscal discipline resulted in a substantial budgetary surplus in 2001, which was cut by more than half in 2002, due to the global economic slowdown, declining revenue, and increased spending. The Swedish central bank (the Riksbank) focuses on price stability with its inflation target of 2%. Growth remained sluggish in 2003, but picked up in 2004 and 2005. Presumably because of generous sicktime benefits, Swedish workers report in sick more often than other Europeans. On 14 September 2003, Swedish voters turned down entry into the euro system, concerned about the impact on democracy and sovereignty. |
