Additionally, in 2007 the Swedish Fiscal Policy Council was established. This committee of experts audits the government’s policy decisions regarding public finances. Unlike most countries, during a recession, Sweden didn't cut public spending in the health, education and research sectors but rather they did the opposite. This helped Sweden growing into the model nation that it is
