In 2022, the share of Swedes in a survey who had trust in their government increased to 46 percent, the highest since 2014, underlining that the Swedish government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as its response to the Russia-Ukraine war caused the trust in it to rise. The level of trust was at its lowest in 2016, when only 31 percent had high or very high levels of trust in the government.
