Sweden's centre-left government said on Monday it would propose raising pensions for the elderly with the lowest incomes in a reform that will cost 9.4 billion crowns ($1.00 billion) in 2023.
The Social Democrat minority government agreed with the Green and the Left parties to raise pensions by up to 1,000 crowns tax free per month for the half a million pensioners with the lowest incomes, the parties told a joint news conference.
