ABOUT THE SURVEY
The Business Climate Survey is a Team Sweden project based upon a partnership created by Business Sweden and Swedish Chambers International in 2019. The survey is conducted among Swedish companies in 23 markets worldwide with insights from over 1,600 Swedish company representatives.
This year, the survey was sent out to a sample of 434 local executives representing Swedish companies in France, 88 of which provided answers. This sample size is sufficient to represent Swedish companies in France. The answers were collected between March 9th and April 14th, 2023.
We would like to extend our most sincere gratitude to the participating companies and partners who have contributed to this report and look forward to supporting the continued trade and business development between Sweden and France.
