National Institute of Economic Research

We perform analyses and forecasts of the Swedish and international economy as a basis for economic policy in Sweden, and conduct related research. Our forecasts are not only an independent basis for economic policy, but are also used by other government agencies, firms and organisations. As with other government agencies in Sweden, we have an independent status. Our analysis and research are therefore conducted without political interference. The NIER was founded in 1937 and has about 55 employees. It is headed by Director-General Urban Hansson Brusewitz. Sharing Knowledge
