I et dristigt træk forud for næste års valg, afslørede den svenske regering en udgiftspakke på 87 milliarder kroner (8,5 milliarder dollars) rettet mod at stimulere økonomisk vækst gennem skattesænkninger, øgede forsvarstilskud og støtte til husholdninger og virksomheder. Budgettet, præsenteret af finansminister Elisabeth Svantesson, afspejler en strategisk drejning for at håndtere afmatning i væksten og geopolitiske spændinger, og trækker på budgetoverskud for at finansiere initiativerne uden ny gæld. Denne valgårsbonanza forventes at påvirke vælgerstemningen midt i stigende bekymringer over inflation og sikkerhed.
