The S-leader Magdalena Andersson demands that the government take the initiative for a Swedish Draghi report. It was developed by former ECB chief Mario Draghi to strengthen the EU's competitiveness and is a hot topic in Brussels, where Andersson is currently located.

What are we going to live on in the future, how are we going to ensure that we get jobs to Sweden that provide good salaries and can secure future prosperity, she says about the report's purpose.

Right now, we are in a trough when it comes to growth, we have a declining employment rate, increasing unemployment and the most bankruptcies since the 1990s.

The important thing is that there is a broad commission behind the report, with participants from many social interests. She also wants to draw inspiration from the UK, where similar work is being done.
