List of government enterprises of Sweden
 | This article relies largely or entirely on a single source. (May 2007) |
This is a list of
companies owned by the Swedish state.[1]
State-owned companies are legally in a form of aktiebolag but mainly or fully state-owned. They are expected to be funded by their sales, and not be given direct tax money. A big customer might be the state or a government agency.
Many companies originate from a former
ministerial rule", the government has avoided interfering with the business of the companies, and allowed them to go international. This has been somewhat controversial. For example, Akademiska Hus
which owns buildings used by universities is claiming commercial rent levels, much higher than traditionally, causing trouble for higher education.
