Tin brawl on finance – Swedish Dagbladet

Tin brawl on finance – Swedish Dagbladet

We’ve seen it before – power struggles and conflicts in a departments controlled by ministers of different political affiliation. Odell Borg and tried to keep up the long facade. But in the end became obvious disagreement. The Christian-Democrat Odell relegated out of the cold and was replaced by Conservative Peter Norman. Maybe ports also Finance Minister Magdalena Andersson and Minister for Financial Per Bolund at odds with each other, although they have so far done his best to smile toward the press photographers’ cameras.

Five ministers in Stefan Löfvens new government has responsibility for areas of finance, business and labor. It’s Magdalena Andersson, Per Bo, Mikael Damberg, Minister for Enterprise, Ylva Johansson, Minister of Labour and Joan Smith, Minister of Infrastructure.

Magdalena Andersson was a given name and is the academic star of the government. It considers all cases several business profiles, as SvD Business has been in contact with. They celebrate in unison the Finance Minister talent. That she is left does not seem to worry – on the contrary, expresses several some relief to Anders Borg are gone. Magdalena Andersson is also married to Richard Friberg, a noted professor at the Stockholm School of Economics, which several years ago holding Jacob Wallenberg Chair in Economics is a piquant element in this context.



“Magdalena Andersson was a given name and is the academic star of the government.”

ecologists Stone Per Bo is described as a negotiation-oriented real politician. Han, the political maneuvering after many years working as a political official, including the Ministry of Industry in the early 2000s. He does not have the same network as the predecessor Peter Norman but considered as well-informed and reliable.

But it may be worthwhile to note his title: Financial Markets and Consumer Affairs., the fact that he also gets consumer issues on his table, which is new, should worry SEB, Handelsbanken and the other banking giants., it can be interpreted that the new government wants to focus on the interest of consumers versus the profitable financial giants.

A major issue is about Per Bolund to maintain responsibility for the state companies or if it is transferred to the Ministry of Industry, where they had been previously. Stable tip for the day, both by officials from within the Cabinet Office and from external observers, is that they moved back to the Ministry of Industry. It will be so, a major upgrade for the well-groomed professional politician Mikael Damberg. Developments in crisis stamped Vattenfall will become a series, even for this government.

The weakest card of the five ministers in the finance, business and labor are perhaps Anna Johansson. In Gothenburg, she is well-known local politician and daughter of Göran Johansson, formerly called Gothenburg strongman and mayor in over 15 years. It may seem ironic that Joan Smith has been given responsibility for that infrastructure issues in government. Is there anything that has not gone her way in recent times is the right infrastructure issues. In the elections this September said Göteborgarna flat refusal to congestion, Anna Johansson fought for the yes side.

Even dad Göran Johansson seems somewhat surprised when the GT asked the question yesterday about ministerial election: ” Infrastructure Minister was perhaps not her best event “was his reply.
