May 13, 2026 [Intermediate] Food Price Drops and School Profit Bans
Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
In today's bulletin, we report on the historic 5.5 percent decrease in food prices following a government tax cut, a new proposal to restrict profit distributions in independent schools, and the trial of a high-ranking gang figure extradited from Iraq.
Keywords:
• moms: [måms] VAT. The government reduced this tax on food from 12 to 6 percent to combat inflation.
• inflation: [in-fla-shóon] Inflation. Sweden's annual inflation rate fell significantly to 0.8 percent in April.
• vinst: [vinst] Profit. The Tidö parties have agreed to prevent new independent schools from distributing profits for their first five years.
• friskola: [fré-skoo-la] Independent school. New regulations require these privately-run schools to report finances separately and maintain quality standards.
• rättegång: [rét-te-gong] Trial. The court case against Poya Shafie, a leader in the Bro network, has commenced at Södertörn District Court.
• utlämna: [úut-lem-na] Extradite. The gang leader was arrested in Iraq and extradited back to Sweden to face serious criminal charges.
