Ministry of Finance

Together we will work Sweden out of the crisis and build a more sustainable society. The Government is presenting the Budget Bill for 2021 to the Riksdag today. The Government proposes a powerful, green restart package for the Swedish economy, but also long-term reforms that will help solve societal problems. The proposals are based on an agreement between the government parties, the Centre Party and the Liberal Party.

On 21 September 2020, the Government presented its budget proposal for 2021 to the Riksdag.

Global warming continues regardless of the COVID-19 pandemic. Climate change will remain the defining issue of our generation. The Government is therefore proposing investments of SEK 9.7 billion in green recovery initiatives in the Budget Bill for 2021. The Government’s proposals are based on an agreement between the government parties, the Centre Party and the Liberal Party.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a serious impact on economic growth, both in Sweden and the rest of the world. GDP growth has been revised downwards compared with the assessment made in the Spring Fiscal Policy Bill. However, recently there have been some signs of recovery, albeit from a very low level and with great uncertainty. This is clear from the Ministry of Finance’s most recent economic forecast, presented today by Minister for Finance Magdalena Andersson.

How many people work at the Government Offices? What was the central government budget like last year? How many acts and ordinances were issued last year? The answer to these and other questions can be found in the Swedish Government Offices Yearbook 2019.

The Government has adopted a temporary ordinance on responsible gambling measures targeting forms of gambling with particular risks, such as online casinos and slot machines.
