The reform is based on government bill prop. 2025/26:203, 'Nya verktyg för stärkt konkurrens i privat och offentlig verksamhet'. It is the most far-reaching overhaul of Swedish competition law in years: it now also captures concentrations in local markets that previously carried no notification duty, and makes public-sector economic actors sanctionable for the first time. Konkurrensverket receives an additional SEK 11 million in budget for the task. — Source: https://www.regeringen.se/pressmeddelanden/2026/02/ny-lagstiftning-for-starkt-konkurrens-i-privat-och-offentlig--verksamhet/

Norwegian renewable energy group Scatec is acquiring the ready-to-build 77 MW Urleasca onshore wind project in Brăila county, south-eastern Romania, from Swedish developer OX2. Total investment is around €168 m (excluding VAT), financed with non-recourse debt and equity at roughly 60% leverage. About 43 MW is secured under a state contract-for-difference at an average €71.3/MWh, with the remaining 34 MW sold on the Romanian wholesale power market. Financial close is targeted for the third quarter of 2026 and commissioning for the second half of 2028. The deal marks Scatec's entry into European onshore wind; the group is already building the 190 MW Dobrun and Sadova solar projects in Romania. — Source: https://www.scatec.com/en/scatec-acquires-77-mw-onshore-wind-project-in-romania/

On Friday 24 July 2026 US investor Kenneth Dart crossed the 30 percent threshold in Evolution AB through physical share purchases at SEK 687.80–701.00 per share, triggering Sweden's mandatory bid rule (budplikt). Since late March Dart had held more than 30 percent economic exposure through swap agreements without triggering the obligation. He now has four weeks either to launch a mandatory offer to the company's roughly 74,000 shareholders or to sell back below the threshold. Based on the minimum required price (the highest price paid in the preceding six months), such an offer would be worth around SEK 137–139.5 billion — one of the largest mandatory bids in the history of the Stockholm exchange. Second source: MarketScreener, 24 July 2026. Update (13 August 2026): On 13 August 2026 Candle Lake published the formal mandatory offer of SEK 695 in cash per share. Based on all 189,447,977 outstanding shares, the offer values Evolution at around SEK 131.7 billion, below the range previously reported on the basis of the minimum required price. The price matches the closing price of 24 July 2026 and represents a premium of 1.6% over the volume-weighted 20-day average up to that day, but also a discount of 5.7% to the closing price of SEK 737.20 on 12 August 2026. Candle Lake states that it holds 59,798,619 shares, or around 31.56% of the votes. The offer document is expected to be published on or around 14 August 2026, with the acceptance period expected to run from around 17 August to around 15 September 2026; completion is conditional solely on the necessary regulatory clearances (source: Candle Lake Limited press release via Cision, 13 August 2026). Update (16 September 2026): The mandatory offer has closed — only 111,716 shares (about 0.06% of capital and votes) were tendered; Candle Lake therefore still holds about 59.9 million shares or 31.6% (around 33.8% economic exposure including total return swaps). The offer is unconditional and completed, settlement starts around 23 September 2026; Dart does not obtain a controlling majority (Placera, 16 September 2026). — Source: https://efn.se/kenneth-darts-nya-drag-utloser-budplikt-i-evolution

On 23 July 2026 the Swedish government presented a strategy for a 'growing fossil-free and technology-leading mineral and recycling industry'. Energy and Industry Minister Ebba Busch framed the move in security terms, arguing that access to metals is no longer merely economic policy. The press release names no specific funding amounts or new agency; implementation is to run through existing instruments and the Geological Survey of Sweden (SGU). Sweden is the EU's largest iron ore producer and hosts several critical raw material deposits. — Source: https://www.regeringen.se/pressmeddelanden/2026/07/regeringen-lanserar-strategi-for-en-stark-mineralindustri/

On 16 July 2026 the Swedish government approved continued build-out of the Hästliden onshore wind farm in the Markbygden area around 20 km west of Piteå: a maximum of 85 turbines up to 300 m in total height across roughly 6,800 hectares of forest, with total capacity of about 600 MW depending on grid capacity. The permit replaces an earlier one capped at 200 m, allowing fewer but more powerful turbines. The operator is Norwegian state group Statkraft, which took over Svevind's Markbygden activities in 2023 and puts annual output at around 2 TWh — some 20% of current electricity consumption in price zone SE1 (second source: Statkraft Sverige). — Source: https://www.regeringen.se/pressmeddelanden/2026/07/regeringen-ger-gront-ljus-for-fortsatt-utbyggnad-av-vindkraft-i-markbygden/

Telenor is buying 50.8% of the capital and 86% of the votes in Swedish internet provider Bahnhof from founders Jon Karlund and Andreas Norman at SEK 60 a share, plus Öresund's stake at SEK 62; a mandatory offer at SEK 62 to the remaining shareholders follows. The deal values Bahnhof at SEK 6.1bn and makes Telenor Sverige the second-largest fixed broadband provider in Sweden (Nyhetsbyrån Direkt via Placera, 8 July 2026). Update (2 November 2026): the Swedish Competition Authority has approved the acquisition, so all regulatory conditions are now met (Telenor Sverige, 2 November 2026). — Sources: https://www.placera.se/telegram/bahnhof-telenor-blir-huvudagare-avser-lagga-bud-ny2-20260708 · https://news.cision.com/se/telenor-sverige/r/konkurrensverket-godkanner-telenors-forvarv-av-en-majoritetspost-i-bahnhof,c4418775

According to the report of 8 Jul 2026, the European Commission has approved the joint acquisition of control of Norway's Nordic Ferry Infrastructure Holding by Swedish shipping company Gotlandsbolaget and Luxembourg's EQT Fund Management. The deal concerns passenger and freight ferry services in Sweden, Denmark and Norway; it was cleared under the simplified procedure (case M.12388) because the businesses of the buyers and the target neither overlap nor sit in the same supply chain. The report gives no price or closing date.

Update (15 Oct 2026): after the extended acceptance period ended on 14 Oct 2026, holders of about 97.99% of Humana shares had accepted; Ambea will not extend further, is starting compulsory redemption of the remaining shares and Humana has applied to delist, with 27 Oct 2026 the last trading day.

On 26 June 2026 the government adopted the ordinance implementing the halving of monthly public transport pass prices: regional transport authorities that sell monthly passes between 1 July and 31 December 2026 at half the price set on 1 May 2026 receive state compensation for lost revenue, based on the number of discounted passes actually sold. SEK 6.5 billion (EUR 600 million) is available, the environmental protection agency checks and pays out the grant, and the reduced fare applies nationwide and in the first fare zone of a neighbouring country, for example for commuters to Copenhagen. The trigger is the sharp rise in fuel prices after the war in Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, to which the government had already responded with lower taxes on petrol and diesel.
