The record-breaking budget presented today has been negotiated between the government and the coalition parties, the Center Party and the Liberals.
More than SEK 100 billion in borrowed money will restart Sweden in the wake of the corona pandemic.
"Seven devilish investment in welfare"
The health and care sector has been pressured during the pandemic and shortcomings have been exposed.
Municipalities and regions will receive SEK 20 billion next year, which will, among other things, be used to handle deferred care due to the pandemic to strengthen care for the elderly.
- If you excuse me, it is a devilish investment in welfare, said Stefan Löfven when the package was announced in early September.
The Center Party and the Liberals have pushed for tax cuts.
13.5 billion will give seven million Swedes more money in their wallets when income tax is reduced.
Ten billion goes to reduced corporate tax, which will make companies dare to invest.
- It is a historic tax cut in a historic time.
And to quote the Prime Minister, it is a devilish tax cut, said Annie Lööf (C).
Game changer
Ten billion goes to extra climate investments, which the Green Party calls a "game changer".
Just over half, SEK 5.4 billion, will reduce the climate impact of the transport sector.
This includes, for example, targeted support for public transport, increased involvement of biofuels for air traffic and the expansion of cycle path networks.
