| Description | The majority of welfare services in the form of schools, healthcare and social services is produced by municipalities and county councils and is largely financed by local government tax revenues. The Swedish NAO finds that the Government's reporting to the Riksdag on the long-term sustainability of fiscal policy lacks a local government dimension. This is a deficiency because it is primarily in municipalities and county councils that there is a risk of future financing problems. The Government's long-term calculations presuppose that the local government sector will achieve the balanced budget requirement thanks to extensive funding through central government grants. This funding is not reported to the Riksdag. |
