Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what plans he has to improve economic relations between the United Kingdom and Sweden.

This Government is committed to strengthening the UK’s bilateral relationships across the world and promoting the UK’s economic and financial objectives.

HM Treasury regularly engages with key partners on priority economic issues through multilateral fora, as well as bilaterally. The Chancellor and Chief Secretary attended the G20 Finance Track meetings last week in the US. The UK will bring together the world’s major economies when it hosts the G20 Presidency in 2027 and G7 Presidency in 2028.

Multilateral collaboration is key to achieving the UK’s objectives in the long-term as it allows like-minded partners to discuss the most pressing issues facing the global economy today.

The Chancellor will continue to engage with the UK’s key partners through bilateral and multilateral meetings to promote trade and investment; to address shared economic and financial priorities; and to support growth.
