Sverige annoncerer ekspansiv budget med skattesænkninger og militærboost
23. september 2025 Rapporteret af AI
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.

The U.S. Senate on September 20, 2025, rejected both a Republican-proposed stopgap funding bill and a Democratic alternative, escalating the chances of a partial government shutdown starting October 1. The House-passed measure aimed to extend funding through November 21, while the competing proposal sought a shorter extension to October 31 with additional provisions. With lawmakers departing for a break and no resolution in sight, partisan divisions over spending and policy riders continue to stall progress ahead of the September 30 fiscal deadline.
