Foreign-born Swedes Could Be Offered Money to Emigrate

• Foreigners who become Swedish nationals might receive financial incentives to leave Sweden, aiming to reduce net migration.
• An inquiry suggests expanding the current $960 voluntary exit scheme to include naturalized citizens and migrant families.
• The proposal follows Sweden's first net migration loss in over 50 years, with negative migration from Iraq, Syria, and Somalia.
• Migration Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard emphasized the need for sustainable immigration to improve integration and reduce social exclusion.
• The inquiry warned against increasing the grant, fearing it would signal to immigrants that they are unwelcome, potentially harming societal integration.
