Will Sweden's 'poor conduct' law muzzle immigrants?

In this week's episode we talk about the government’s push to eject more immigrants for bad behaviour, and we have an interview with migration minister Johan Forssell on attracting and retaining highly skilled workers.

We also hear from Américo Fernández, an SEB economist and personal finance expert, on how foreigners in Sweden can navigate difficult times in the Swedish economy.

Host Paul O'Mahony is joined this week by regular panelists Richard Orange and Becky Waterton.
