The Swedish national audit office criticizes the government’s budget – Radio Sweden

the Municipalities will have to bring in significantly more money, or they need welfare to be cut down, writes the national audit office on DN debate today.

“We believe that the government is not sufficiently clearly highlights the demographic challenges we have up to the year 2020,” says Robert Boije, who is the chief economist at the national audit office.

ageing in combination with the refugee crisis and the general increase in population, means that local government expenditure for welfare increases.

to retain the current standard of care, school and care is needed, therefore, an additional 50 billion in government subsidies, according to the Riksrevsionens review. Or municipal tax shall be increased by two percentage points.

here therefore not in the budget bill. But it does not mean that the government made any formal errors, ” says Robert Boije.

” No, it can not be said that this is done. They follow the guidelines that are in the budget process. But we believe that the demographic challenge is so large now, the next few years that there should have been a section that highlighted this in an orderly manner.

What do you mean happens if it neither increases in government subsidies or increased taxes, out there in the municipalities?

– Yes, then will the standard of care, the school and the care to decline, until 2020.
