Background & Purpose

The state needs a clear financial plan every year to fund core democratic functions, public administration, and governance across Sweden.

Proposals & Debate

The government, parliamentary board, parliamentary ombudsmen, and Swedish National Audit Office submitted proposals on how to divide funds for state governance. The plans outlined precise allocations for everything from the royal court and political parties to regional county administrative boards and media support.

The Decision

The Swedish parliament approved the funding allocation for state governance, setting the financial framework for 2024 into motion.
