City's Growing Debt and Costly Interest Payments

The Stockholm City Executive Board's Finance and Security Committee has approved the financial monthly report for December 2025. The report shows that the city's external borrowing increased by SEK 1.287 billion during the year, and by nearly SEK 20 billion since the current left-wing administration took office. The Moderates and Liberals express concern over the increased debt, which now approaches SEK 85 billion, and the high interest costs of approximately SEK 2 billion annually.
