Sweden

Business Indicators

With an overall score of 10.65/12, Sweden is at standard on the economic, legal, and political indicators that make up our Business Index. Sweden has a market-based, private sector economy, however, government spending remains high totaling 56.6% percent of the country's GDP. Capital and foreign exchange controls are limited in Sweden, and the country welcomes foreign investment and provides equal incentives for both foreign and domestic investors. The country has low barriers to trade signified by little or no import controls and protective tariffs. Sweden's tax regime is generally liberal offering tax incentives to potential investors. On the other hand, its tax rates are considered punitive by international standards. Property rights, including intellectual property rights, are well protected, as are contractual agreements. Corruption is of no concern to investors, as reflected in Sweden's ranking of 4th out of 180 countries in Transparency International's 2007 Corruption Perceptions Index.
