The Budget for 2026 in five minutes
The strength of Sweden’s public finances is now being drawn upon to put more money in the pockets of hard-working people. This can inspire belief in the future and bring the economic downturn to an end. With the Government’s reforms, a family with two children will have an additional SEK 1 800 per month. The Budget includes reforms totalling almost SEK 80 billion, and is based on an agreement between the Government and the Sweden Democrats.
Prime Minister receives HM King Abdullah II of Jordan
On Tuesday 7 October, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson received HM King Abdullah II of Jordan for a working lunch in Stockholm. Jordan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Ayman Safadi and Sweden’s Minister for Foreign Affairs Maria Malmer Stenergard also took part in the meeting.
New package for stronger civil defence
Security in Sweden’s neighbourhood has deteriorated dramatically in recent years. The Government is therefore carrying out the most sweeping modernisation of Sweden’s total defence since the end of the Cold War. In the Budget Bill for 2026, the Tidö Parties propose a new package for stronger civil defence.
The Government presents defence investments for a stronger Sweden
The prevailing security situation is more serious than it has been in several decades, and Russia constitutes a multi-dimensional threat to Sweden. The Government is therefore implementing historic investments in defence. Together with previous budgetary expansions, appropriations increase by SEK 26.6 billion in the Budget Bill for 2026. This corresponds to an increase of 18 per cent over 2025. These proposals and increases broadly strengthen Sweden’s defence capability.
