Abstract: Implications for CO2, SO2 and NOx emissions of the Government`s 
    medium term economic projections are assessed considering Sweden`s 
    environmental goals. Data from the first environmental accounting 
    matrix of Sweden is exploited within the framework of the inter 
    industry model to give emission multipliers for various components of 
    aggregate demand. It is evident in view of these emission multipliers, 
    that the outlined macroeconomic development does not conform with 
    Sweden`s environmental goals. The oil price and structural changes 
    assumed in the economic projections still further stress the need for 
    strong environmental policy measures to attain the emission goals.
