Sweden's construction industry is currently facing a severe crisis, with a sharp decline in building activity leading to job layoffs, record-high bankruptcies, and an exacerbation of the housing crisis.

Industry leaders and experts are calling for urgent action, suggesting measures such as the abolition of the amortization requirement to help alleviate the situation.

Critics argue that the government's inaction is allowing the crisis to worsen, potentially affecting Sweden for decades to come.

Amidst growing concerns, political figures have also weighed in, accusing the current administration of failing to deliver on promises to bolster the construction sector and protect workers from the fallout of the crisis.

This crisis is seen as a critical test of political leadership in addressing both immediate and long-term challenges in the construction and housing sectors..
