Improving Stockholm's Business Climate and Procurement

Nike Örbrink (KD) questioned Finance Commissioner Karin Wanngård (S) regarding Stockholm's business climate, citing a decline in the city's ranking in Svenskt Näringsliv's measurements and asking what measures are being taken to reverse the trend and improve procurement. Wanngård (S) disagreed with the assessment of a worsening climate, pointing to other reports that show Stockholm as innovative and attractive, but acknowledged the challenges in Svenskt Näringsliv's measurement are taken seriously, outlining actions such as a new business policy, a "single point of contact" for entrepreneurs, local business developers, and investments in building permit management and innovation environments.
