Sweden is one of the countries which Ukraine could emulate in most directions. According to Swedes, there is no better country for doing business than theirs. Our countries are similar by size and resources yet significantly different in economic development and terms of doing business. Sweden boasts a diversified and competitive economy — it takes the 9th place in the world in development. Among all European countries, the national debt of Sweden is one of the lowest, inflation is little, and the banking system is exceptionally strong. The country is also highly ranked as the most convenient trading partner. This is not surprising — openness and liberal approach to international trade are the hallmarks of the national economy. For the wellness of a comparably small country with a large economy, an emphasis on export is essentially important. Swedish enterprises sell abroad a wide range of goods and the country keeps a positive trading surplus from year to year.
