Swedish term or phrase: ekonomi
Hello

In a long list of interests ranging from sport to cooking, and including stuff like "gardening" and "motor sports", how would you translate "ekonomi"?

Basically, it could be anything. "Money" even as in money matters, "finance" or "economics" or even "business"

How do others see this one word in such a context?

Thanks

Explanation:
By process of elimination, this weasel-word is unlikely - as a professed are of interest - to include in the non-departmental context; supplies, requisitioning and labo(u)r-saving devices.

Example sentence(s):
  • Economic and Financial Matters Price Increases.
