The Government will submit its 2026 Spring Budget to the Riksdag on Monday 13 April at 08.00. Minister for Finance Elisabeth Svantesson will present the budget at a press conference starting at 08.30.

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.

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.
