Business simplification
Enterprise and industrial policy is governed by an explicit employment goal. The number of people who work and the number of hours worked in the economy are to increase so much that Sweden achieves the lowest unemployment rate in the EU in 2020. The Government wants to strengthen the business climate so that more people start businesses and so that existing businesses and potential businesses can grow, export and employ more people. Making it easier for companies to develop and run their businesses will remain a priority for the Government during this electoral period.
