Swedish Agency for Public Management

The Agency for Financial and Public Management[a] (Swedish: Statskontoret) is a central government agency under the Ministry of Finance in Sweden. On 1 July 1998, the agency was established as the Swedish Financial Management Agency (Swedish: Ekonomistyrningsverket).[4] However, on 1 January 2026, the former Agency for Public Management was merged into Ekonomistyrningsverket and the agency then changed its name to Statskontoret.[5][6]
