Sweden election: exit polls project centre-left government and bad night for the far-right – live

Initial exit polls in Sweden's election project a centre-left government, with the opposition bloc securing 51.3% of the vote, compared to 46.8% for right-wing parties. This outcome is worse than expected for the far-right Sweden Democrats, who had been gaining momentum in recent years. The centre-left government could have significant implications for Sweden's economic policies and trade relationships, particularly in the context of its close ties with the European Union.

Why it matters

The centre-left government is expected to maintain stability and continuity in economic policies. This could lead to increased investor confidence and a positive outlook for Swedish assets.
