The Budget Bill for 2018 that was presented to the Riksdag today proposes vigorous reforms so that Sweden’s new economic strength benefits everyone, while the Government is also able to pay off national debt. The Bill is based on an agreement between the government parties and the Left Party.
An important part of the Government’s work to realise its policies is to draw up proposals on the central government budget. The proposals are submitted to the Riksdag in the spring and autumn.
"Sweden and the Swedish economy are in a strong position. Deficits have been turned into substantial surpluses. This new economic situation will be used to strengthen economic equality and combat unemployment. The society we build together will be made future-proof. In this way we create confidence in the future, hope and security," says Minister for Finance Magdalena Andersson.
