Caretaker government presents Budget Bill for 2019
Because no new government has taken office, the caretaker government is presenting the Budget Bill for 2019 to the Riksdag today. A caretaker government has limited powers. The budget being presented is based on previous decisions by the Riksdag and leaves scope for adjustments when a new government is formed. The budget also contains a proposal, supported by broad consensus in the Riksdag, that cannot be implemented in the ongoing fiscal year. This is a proposal to reduce the difference in taxation between pensioners and wage earners that was previously circulated for comment.

About the Swedish fiscal policy framework
· Article from Ministry of Finance
The fiscal policy framework is an instrument to ensure that fiscal policy is sustainable and transparent in the long term. Certain principles are regulated by law, while others are based on the practice that has gradually developed since the 1990s. In June 2016, a cross-party agreement was concluded on changes to the fiscal policy framework. In April 2018, the Government presented a written communication to the Riksdag containing a cohesive description of the framework.
