Utgiftsområde

An expenditure area (utgiftsområde) is one of the 27 headings into which the state's spending is divided, from defense to student finance. The breakdown is used in the central government budget to make it clear where the money goes. It is the Riksdag (Sweden's parliament) that decides on the budget and how much each expenditure area is to receive.
