Updates

  • 2026-09-24 · Edited before publication: SEK must be converted to USD at 9.878 with the original in brackets, including in the headline, and the programme size (SEK 3bn = USD 304m) was left unconverted. The cumulative figure was also miscalculated: SEK 1,499,513,546 is USD 151.8m, not USD 151.87m.
