das Andersson Video by Jörgen Andersson (M) to Finance Minister Magdalena Andersson (S) There is a boom in Sweden, and the picture of the Swedish economy is that it develops relatively strongly. This is a picture that is emphasized not least by the government. This shows the incredible strength we have in the Swedish economy now and how strong we are in comparison with other countries, the finance minister commented on the growth figures this summer. However, there may be reason to nuance this image.
Looking at Swedish growth per capita, ie GDP per capita, Sweden only develops as an average EU country. This in an EU where many countries are struggling with major debt crises. The National Economic Institute's forecast of growth per capita shows a slowdown in the economy, from 1.4 per cent growth in GDP per capita, to 0.5 per cent by 2020.
John Hassler, professor of international economics, recently said in today's industry that the painting of the Swedish economy's development risks risking fake security and the absence of necessary reforms.
In view of the above, my question is to finance minister Magdalena Andersson:
1. What is the Finance Minister's view of the slowdown in GDP per capita GDP? 2. What action does the government take in response to this? |
