Areas of responsibility

• International Trade Policy

  Free trade is essential to Sweden's welfare. This is why Sweden is vigorously pursuing open, simple and fair conditions for international trade and investment. This contributes to growth, employment and sustainable development.

• Promotion of trade, investment and Sweden

  Trade and investment promotion aims at encouraging growth, full employment and development in Sweden by promoting exports, imports and foreign investment in Sweden. Creating a strong image of Sweden abroad is another means of promoting Sweden.

• The internal market of the European Union

  The internal market, which is one of the cornerstones of EU cooperation, means the free movement of goods, services, capital and persons - the four freedoms.
