Inflation has increased in Sweden because… Beyoncé!

The surprising truth came out from a research.

Beyoncé’s choice to start her Renaissance World Tour in Stockholm had unexpected consequences for the whole of Sweden. a study by michael gran, chief economist at Danske Bank in Sweden, as reported by Corriere della Sera. The first two dates of Queen B’s world tour, and the star’s first concert since the pandemic, have hit Sweden’s heart well 92,000 people

, most of these they are not residents in the nation.

The nearly 100,000 who came to the capital, all in the same handful of days, stayed in hotels, hostels, guesthouses and bed and breakfasts, as well as spending money in local shops and eating at bars and restaurants.

This sudden spurt in consumption led to a rise in prices in the city.

With the results, Grahn argues in his own study, which then covered the entire country. The expert explained: “Beyoncé is responsible for this surge, which is certainly quite dramatic, considering it’s a single event. We’ve never seen anything like this before.” The pop star continued to tour major cities in Spain, England, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Poland. It would also be interesting to understand the impact these realities have.

In Sweden, however, will come Bruce Springsteen, for three dates in the city of Gothenburg. Swedbank economist Andreas Wallström reveals something Concerns about a possible ‘Beyoncé-effect’ In this case too. We’ll see if that happens again.

As far as Queen B is concerned, her tour is now headed back to the United States, even if it passes through Canada for the first few stops. Unfortunately there was no Italian date as we know it.
