A large part of Sweden's GNP is generated within the public sector. In recent years, the public sector has drawn increasingly closer to the private sector due, among other things, to the widespread adoption of corporate entity forms for public sector activities. As a consequence, county councils and municipalities can, in certain regards, often be equated with parent companies of major groups. Increasingly, work is being contracted out. Public and private operations are growing closer to each other in matters concerning conditions and regulatory systems.
