According to SCB, Statistics Sweden (https://www.scb.se/hitta-statistik/statistik-efter-amne/befo...) in 2023, 94 514 people migrated to Sweden and about 70 000 emigrated, these numbers include refugees.

So net migration of about 25 000 people in 2023, not a quarter millon.

EDIT: According to the World Bank, the number 250 000 refers to the total refugee population in Sweden, not the number of refugees coming annually.

Thank you, you are correct. I'll leave the comment to remind me to look more critically.

In fact it looks like Sweden only resettled 5000 last year, a decrease on previous years.
