Committee on Finance

How much money should central government spend on various areas such as the labour market, education and health and medical care? What approach should Sweden’s economic policy take? The Committee on Finance has the overall responsibility for the Riksdag’s work with the central government budget. The Committee is also responsible for legislative matters, for example relating to the financial market and public procurement. An another important task for the Committee is to follow up and evaluate the activities of the Riksbank, such as monetary policy.

The parliamentary committees prepare decisions

The hub of the work of the Riksdag is the 15 parliamentary committees. This is where the members prepare the Riksdag’s decisions. When a committee has presented its proposal for a decision, all 349 members of the Riksdag adopt a position on the proposal. Each committee is made up of 17 members of the Riksdag. The committees are like a miniature Riksdag, which means that the composition of members in each committee reflects the balance of power in the Riksdag as a whole.
