Swedish Radio, of which Radio Sweden is a part, continues to hold the highest amount of public confidence in Sweden, compared with a range of other institutions in Swedish society.

Seventy-eight percent of people who took part in Medieakademin's yearly confidence barometer stated they had relatively strong or very strong confidence in the public broadcasting service, Swedish Radio.

The barometer also measured confidence in both Parliament and the center-right coalition government, which has gone up somewhat during recent months.

Fifty-three percent of respondents say they have relatively high or very high confidence in the government, whereas 48 percent feel that way about Parliament. However, confidence in the political parties, themselves, is significantly lower: with 18 percent reporting to hold confidence in them.

Around 1,000 people answered the Medieakademin survey.
