What do we know about Sweden's 2025 spring budget so far?
Briefly

The Swedish government plans to present its spring amendment budget on April 15, aiming to introduce reforms totaling 11.5 billion kronor. Key proposals include a temporary increase to the ROT tax reduction, which incentivizes labor costs in home improvements, raising it from 30% to 50%. While this may help stimulate the economy, economist Shoka Ahrman suggests that the broader population may not see financial benefits, as changes often affect higher-income households. Additionally, the budget allocates funds for road maintenance and summer job opportunities for youth.
