Sweden's government will unveil a 17.5 billion‑crown (≈$1.88 bn) energy crisis relief package to aid households and industry affected by Middle East war.
Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson announced the package, noting the war's substantial impact on the Swedish economy and a recent GDP growth forecast cut.
Specific measures to counter higher global energy prices will be detailed at a press conference later on Wednesday.
The Swedish krona edged slightly higher versus the US dollar, gaining 0.33% amid the announcement.
