Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson received President of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola on Friday, 27 March. Together, the leaders visited Stockholm’s stock exchange, Nasdaq Stockholm, and discussed ways to strengthen the EU’s capital markets and competitiveness.

Leaders of the Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF), met in Helsinki to reaffirm their commitment to European security and stability, their strengthened support to Ukraine and pressure on Russia, and their continuous effort to respond to regional security challenges together.

In 2026, it is 150 years since the modern office of Prime Minister was introduced in Sweden. Since then, Sweden has had 35 prime ministers who have led 53 governments.

There is currently a great deal of uncertainty in the world, particularly due to the war in the Middle East and its consequences. Nevertheless, the Swedish economic recovery that began in 2025 is expected to continue in 2026. Minister for Finance Elisabeth Svantesson has presented a new economic forecast.

Minister for Employment Johan Britz will assume responsibility for climate and environment issues in the Government while Minister for Climate and the Environment Romina Pourmokhtari is on parental leave. Meanwhile, he will retain his regular responsibility for labour market policy.

The Swedish electoral system is fundamentally robust and difficult for antagonists to manipulate. Government agencies at central, regional and local level have extensive experience of conducting elections correctly, observing due process.
