Business Packages in the budget – Helsingborgs Dagblad

– We can not afford to lose more competitiveness, says Stefan Löfven.

The government is investing in year 75 million dollars on exports, which will get 105 million dollars per year to come.

– Sweden has lost power when it comes to exports. Exports have not driven the Swedish growth policy in recent years – that we must turn, says Mikael Damberg.

Among other things, the Swedish presence in Indonesia, China and India increase.

– We make targeted efforts to work towards emerging markets that are growing much, says Mikael Damberg.

For the remainder of the term, the investment of SEK 315 million per year, of which 125 million goes to the export drive, 100 million to strengthen the innovation climate and 90 million to finance new and growing businesses. The question is whether there is a lot of money.

– We keep on seeing across the state venture capital market and where is it about billions of dollars being used far too inefficient. It’s a job we are doing under the Innovation Council, but this is an important addition, says Stefan Löfven said.

– It is clear that this will provide more jobs, he said.

This amount can be compared to the government brings in 17-18 billion in increased employer contributions for companies.

– The employer’s contribution and these figures can not be compared at the same moment. This is an important part of the bet. We have just launched a major initiative to build new homes, investment in railway maintenance, says Löfven.

The opposition and the Swedish business community is not impressed.

– Individual efforts are commendable, but they pale in comparison to the tax increases that the government simultaneously roll out across firms, says Moderates spokesman Lars Hjälmered.

– The 71 million the government is taking to strengthen the supply of capital is eaten up many times of the tax and fee increases that the government simultaneously suggests, says the Center Emil Kallstrom.

– Investments – whose effects are highly ambiguous – is peanuts compared to the cost shock now sends on business, says SN’s vice president Christer Agren.
