Highlights

  • Jobbskatteavdrag: The Alliance government introduced the earned income tax credit (jobbskatteavdrag) in 2007 as the cornerstone of its "work-line" philosophy — reducing income tax for employed people to make work more financially attractive than welfare benefits. The credit was strengthened in each of the next three budgets.
  • Alpine Ski World Championships in Åre: Sweden hosted the FIS Alpine Ski World Championships in Åre, the resort's third time as host, drawing international attention and boosting Swedish winter-sport prestige.
  • Stieg Larsson's trilogy complete: The third Millennium novel, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest, was published posthumously in Sweden, completing a crime trilogy that would go on to sell over 100 million copies worldwide.
