80 percent of all pensioners in Sweden will get more money in their wallets next year, according to the Swedish Pensions Agency.
An increase in the total pension (general and occupational pension) gives an increase of between SEK 500 and 1,500 after tax for eight out of ten pensioners.

– Some get a reduction and it is because their premium pension is reduced, says Linda Wieseanalyst at the Swedish Pensions Agency at a press conference.
