Background & Purpose

The government annually submits a progress report regarding companies owned by the state. During the opposition proposal period, politicians submitted numerous suggestions concerning how these state enterprises should be managed.

The Decision

The Swedish parliament received the government's report without making any changes to current laws and voted down all alternative proposals from the opposition.

Does this affect you?

  • State-owned company management: Continues business as usual without any new structural guidelines or ownership directives from the parliament.
  • Political opposition: Had all roughly 50 submitted proposals regarding state ownership voted down by the parliamentary majority.

In Practice

  • The government's yearly report on state-owned enterprises is officially noted and filed.
  • No new directives or changes regarding state ownership are implemented.
  • State-owned companies continue their operations according to existing guidelines.
