Background & Purpose

Sweden is one of the countries in the European Economic Area where fund saving is most common. To keep the market strong and stable, Swedish laws need to be updated to match new EU rules.

Proposals & Debate

The government proposed changes to make the fund market more competitive and resilient. The main points include allowing fund shares to be traded on more marketplaces and making it easier for investors to redeem their fund shares.

The Decision

The parliament approved the government's proposal, which means the new, more flexible rules for fund trading will be implemented.

In Practice
