In order to promote international skilled labor immigration to Sweden, the Swedish Migration Agency has today decided to introduce a new certification system.
The new system should make it easier for companies with recurring labor needs from third countries to register faster and speed up the process.
– The system we have had is not sustainable for the future and we will now set up new units for international recruitment, says Mikel Ribbenvik, Director General of the Swedish Migration Agency.
– It is an important mission for Sweden’s competitiveness and for the companies that are expanding rapidly, he continues.
According to Ribbenvik, the new process should take around 30 days, which he believes is in line with the time that many companies need to make new decisions.

Interest rate increases have not taken hold as Riksbank Governor Erik Thedéen intended.
– The effects have not been that great, says Erik Thedéen, in an interview with SvD.
In just over a year, the Riksbank has raised its key interest rate from 0 to 3.5 percent. At the same time, the economy has grown during the first quarter of the year and inflation was over 10 percent in March.
Housing prices also continue to rise.
Households do not seem to believe the central bank’s message about the interest rate and this may force the Riksbank to raise more.
But Erik Thedéen does not want to comment on the future more than he says:
– Every time we have made a new interest rate forecast, we have later adjusted it up. In April, we adjusted it up once more. It is probably a sign that the monetary policy may not bite as we have thought, says Thedéen.

To what extent do all these fires that have ravaged the world in recent years contribute? Have they caused us to get further from the climate target with emissions?
Carina
Hello! Partially. The fires release large amounts of carbon from the vegetation in the form of carbon dioxide, which in turn further increases global warming.
Why does Russia celebrate a Victory Day from 1945? The Russian Federation was formed in 1991 and has nothing to do with WWII. At the time, Russia was only a state in the Soviet Union.

Victory Day began to be celebrated in Russia after the fall of Nazi Germany in 1945. In fact, after the fall of the Soviet Union, the parades stopped for a while. But in 1995 the celebration was resumed again.
Danny Saucedo isn’t making his acting debut now is he? Wasn’t he in Evil?
Ninna
Entirely correct! He was an extra in the fight scene in Ondskan.
However, he himself says that “Scenes from a Marriage” is his acting debut. Maybe he himself makes a difference between extras and acting?
Regardless – well done Ninna!
Which party in Sweden is the 9th largest?
Lisbeth
Hello!
The largest party outside the Riksdag, i.e. the ninth largest party, is the Nyans party. They received 28,352 votes, which is equivalent to 0.44 percent of the turnout in the 2022 election.
In the 2018 and 2014 elections, the Feminist initiative was the largest, but they have retreated significantly and were in this election at 0.05 percent.
