TRADE AND INVESTMENT

Trade and Investment with the UK

Trading links, which go back centuries, and are strong.
Sweden is the UK's ninth largest export market and the UK is Sweden's third largest supplier.
Major UK exports to Sweden electrical machinery, telecom equipment, road vehicles and petroleum products.
Major UK imports from Sweden: paper, board and pulp, telecommunications equipment, road vehicles, cork and wood, iron and steel and general industrial machinery.
Almost all of Sweden's world-class companies have invested in Britain. There are a total of 700 Swedish firms in the UK. Both Ericsson and the post-merger Astra/Zeneca have established headquarters there, fuelling Swedish domestic concerns that this may be a trend.
There are over 370 UK-owned firms in Sweden.
