The government's proposal is that the FRA's budget should increase from this year's 1.582 billion kronor to 1.927 billion in 2023. Then the growth continues, and the FRA's allocation is proposed to be 2.295 billion in 2024 and 2.785 billion in 2025. These figures are adjusted for a preliminary price and salary recalculation for 2024-25.
The background to these investments is the deteriorating security policy development, both globally and in Sweden's vicinity. "The National Defence Radio Establishment's ability to monitor and analyse the current situation and trends in Sweden's vicinity should continue to be developed and strengthened," the government writes, among other things, in its proposal. The government also points out that it is important for the authorities' work on security protection to continue. The increased allocations to the FRA are to be used to strengthen the entire operation.
