STOCKHOLM, Dec. 5 (Chinese media) -- The Swedish government announced Friday a
23-billion-kronor (about 2.8 billion U.S. dollars) economic stimulus package in
efforts to deal with the fallout from the ongoing financial crisis.
The measures included providing more support for the unemployed people and
offering extra funding for vocational training at both high school and college
level.
The package also called for more spending on infrastructure projects and an
increase in the tax deduction available for construction services related to
home repairs and maintenance.
"Sweden has felt the (impact of the) global crisis," Prime Minister Fredrik
Reinfeldt said at a press conference.
"Sweden is a country that depends on exports, and that is difficult when so
much depends on the situation in our export markets," Reinfeldt added.
