Nope, only 11% in Sweden prefer cahsless/using cashless since covid, your country isn’t even in the top cashless countries, Thailand Malaysia Spain UAE and even here in Canada are more cashless than Sweden, and that’s not a brag, it’s the opposite.

You misread your link.

That list is of the change in moving to cashless since Covid. Sweden is low in the list because it’s been cashless for such a long time already. Those places aren’t more cashless than Sweden. They are the ones that are moving towards cashlessness most dramatically in recent years.

This is like so counter to how it feels on the ground. I genuinely don’t know anyone in Sweden who has cash or wants cash in their pocket anymore.
