Ahead of Sweden's next big round of collective bargaining, several employer groups in Swedish industry say the economy is developing worse than previously expected. They have cut their growth forecast for this year, from about 3 to just over 2 per cent, and say there is no space for wage increases similar to the last two rounds of collective bargaining, when union wage demands rose to just over 4 per cent. Industry employers organisations Teknikfรถretagen and Industriarbetsgivarna speak about economic uncertainty, while trade unions in the industry sector have no plans to lower their wage demands.

Sweden's longest-running trial will come to a close on Thursday. It concerns the company Lundin Oil, and alleged involvement in human rights abuses in what's now South Sudan. Two former Lundin Oil executives are facing charges and could be sentenced to several years in prison if found guilty, while the company risks a multibillion kronor payment to the state, in addition to the approximately SEK 1 billion already spent on its defence. Current CEO of the company, Daniel Fitzgerald, says the case is "flawed" and "should never have seen the inside of a courtroom", and that the company has the weight of evidence on its side.
Swedish supermarkets, pharmacies and banks must do more to accept banknotes and coins, a new decision in parliament states.
People born outside of Sweden vote less today than they did 30-40 years ago. In 1982, voter turnout was roughly the same whether one was born in Sweden or overseas. But in the 2022 parliamentary election nearly 90 percent of native-born Swedes cast their vote, versus only around 65 percent among foreign-born voters. Henrik Andersson, an Associate Professor of Economics at Uppsala University, who has studied this voting gap phenomenon, tells Radio Sweden about why this is and its consequences.

Former pilot, Johan Westin who's a flight operations inspector at the Swedish Transport Agency, says incidents are becoming all the more common and can range from threatening and aggressive behaviour towards staff and other passengers, to drunkenness, harassment, or failure to follow cabin crew instructions.
