The Swedish government has embarked on an expansionary budget after a long period of strict budget discipline to recover from the ongoing economic recession. The Swedish plan sets out to hinder the fall in employment and to increase the pace of transformation to a sustainable economy. The report analyses to what degree the recovery's goals for fiscal and sustainability efficiency are met and the general fallout from the recession. The conclusion finds that the expansionary budget is necessary but questions its emphasis on tax cuts and the relatively low share of support being given to sustainable sectors of the economy.
