In this week's podcast: Sweden moves to phase out permanent residency for most immigrants, spring budget revealed, a huge green transition boost in northern Sweden, Russian hybrid threats, and our panelists pick their favourite Swedish words.

This week we ask how new curbs on permanent residency will hit immigrants.

As the Wallenberg family rescues a groundbreaking green steel project in northern Sweden, we examine whether the Swedish green transition has reached a fork in the road.

We also have a look at what goodies the government is showering over the electorate in the last budget before the election.

And in exclusive material for Membership+ subscribers we discuss Swedes’ favourite word – and we ask if our panelists can come up with a better one.

Host James Savage is joined this week by panelists Mandy Pipher and Emma Löfgren. 

Here are links to some of the topics discussed in the episode:
