Background & Purpose

The government is changing how some agencies are organized and how work is divided between parliamentary committees. To keep the budget clear and logical, the areas where money is allocated need to be updated.

The Decision

The Riksdag approved a new plan for how different activities and purposes are grouped within the state budget.

Does this affect you?

  • Government agencies: These organizations will have their funding and responsibilities categorized under new budget areas, requiring internal administrative adjustments.
  • Parliamentary committees: The committees will now oversee budget areas that better match their specific areas of responsibility and legislative work.

In Practice

  • Budget areas for finance, international cooperation, defense, climate, transport, and business are being reorganized.
  • The changes ensure that the budget reflects the current structure of government agencies.
  • The division of work between different parliamentary committees is now better aligned with the budget areas.
