6.2.2 Public cultural expenditure broken down by level of government
Judging from existing figures, recent years show no major changes in the level and distribution of public cultural expenditure. According to the Swedish Arts Council, public cultural expenditure was somewhat increasing until 2011, when state and municipal spending dropped somewhat. Regional government budgets for culture, on the other hand, continue to increase.
