Press Release: Slovenia’s euro changeover successfully completed

As the second business week in January 2007 draws to a close, virtually all cash payments in Slovenia are now being made in euros. Consumers and shops have coped well with payments in euros despite the increased activity since the beginning of the winter sales on 8 January, and everything is back to normal. The tolar becomes history this weekend as the dual circulation period ends on 14 January and the euro becomes the sole legal tender in Slovenia.
