Latest forecast for the Swedish economy

Sweden's GDP growth will be sharply weaker in 2012, which will also mean weaker public finances. The Government's assessment is that balanced net lending in 2012 will provide scope for reforms equal to SEK 15 billion, while also leaving safety margins in the public finances that can be used should developments deteriorate.
