Sweden ready to shield economy from Iran war impact, PM says

Sweden’s Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said the government was prepared to support the economy as the war involving Iran is expected to have a significant impact.

“The Swedish economy will likely be significantly affected,” he said, adding: “We have both the readiness and the ability to do more.”

Kristersson said Sweden had the “room and muscle” to take further measures if needed to cushion the economic fallout.
