The Swedish Equalization Committee has proposed merging 17 state grants into a general grant, boosting the municipal sector by over 10 billion SEK.

This reform aims to address structural differences and secure equitable welfare nationwide.

Rural areas are set to benefit, while wealthy urban regions may see reductions.

Changes include adjustments for municipalities with varied socioeconomics and revisions to the LSS equalization system.

The proposal also outlines principles for state grants to ensure fairness and effectiveness.
