Alliance parties today presenting a proposal in the Parliamentary Finance Committee, to force the government to appoint a parliamentary inquiry into surplus in state finances.
This explains Erik Ullenhag, which is the Liberal Party’s economic policy spokesperson, why the Alliance takes this initiative:
– changes to the regulatory framework for economic policy should not be done carelessly. We also want to see a broad consensus across the block boundary in this type of change.
Finance Magdalena Andersson and Prime Minister Stefan Löfven message some time ago that they wanted to revise surplus target in the state finances.
Instead of the target of a surplus of one percent of GDP over a business cycle, it would be enough to go plus or minus zero. NIER was commissioned to investigate the matter.
Alliance parties’ reactions was initially apart, where the Conservatives and Christian Democrats wanted to keep the surplus target while the Centre Party and the Liberal Party opened for a change.
Eventually, they agreed to a broad parliamentary inquiry into the surplus target would be the best. But the government has so far been indifferent to the proposal.
Now write Alliance parties, in an article in Dagens Industri, that they intend to take a so-called committee initiative of the Finance Committee, to force the government to appoint a parliamentary inquiry.
Using the Sweden Democrats , which said it wants to retain the surplus target, the proposal could get a majority in parliament. But Erik Ullenhag expect broader support than that.
–Nu we use the formal paths through parliament and hope in this way to get a response by both the Social Democrats and the Green Party, said Erik Ullenhag.
– Will there be a majority in parliament for such a study, then I assume that the government follow it and then we shall make an objective assessment of the nature of the type of regulations we need to be sure to maintain the good Swedish economy, he said.
