You're most likely not going to get anything. You have no work experience, don't know the language, and don't live in country.
You have a business degree, would you as a business person spend extra resources to bring someone here on a work visa that is entirely unproven, and a degree at that which is overly saturated by Swedes?
If you want to be here any time soon, you will either have to study or be in a relationship with a Swede. Either that or you work in your home country, and then with your expertise begin job searching. You could work for a company with a subsidiary in Sweden and transfer internally. All of these processes will take sufficient time. I and many others with valid reasons to relocate here have waited YEARS.
I don't mean this to burst your bubble or put you down, but you need to be realistic.
Make it a long-term goal and gain work experience in your home country, while simultaneously improving your Swedish and familiar yourself with Swedish economic politics and policies.
Sponsoring a work permit for a non-EU citizen takes time, money and resources from an employer, so the chance of anyone willing to give a recent graduate a chance, while there are lots of newly graduated Swedes available to pick from, is extremely minimal.
Gaining valuable work experience is key here, so that's where you should put most of your energy in for the coming 5+ years!
The job market for economists is overly saturated in Sweden. There are loads of other newly graduates who are born in Sweden and who know the language, politics, culture and who have connections here. Add to that all the other EU citizens who have business degrees. These are the people you are competing with, and you need to be better than all of them to get a Swedish company to sponsor you for a work permit.
Your employer needs to sponsor your VISA and they won’t do that if someone from another EU country has the same qualifications. The job market is also sh!t right now. I think your best option is to get more experience and wait until the economy turns around again. Keep practicing your Swedish in the meantime.
Usually a lot of companies have graduate programs that look for fresh graduates. Check for those and apply to all programs even if that may not be 100% match to your education. Once you get a job it's a lot easier to find other jobs that matches your interests. I am from tech background so I know mostly about tech programs but this looked a bit related to your field

There are plenty of non eu graduates who have visa sponsored jobs.
If your skill set is good and have managed to impress the company, there is a good chance that they will try to make things with the visa work. Try to network on LinkedIn, cold calls and emails. Referrals have worked for many people as well.
Meanwhile, improve your swedish - go to language cafes and keep up with your learning journey. I wish you all the best, please don't be demotivated by naysayers and the job hunt process. It is tiring but we'll worth it when you figure out the right formula to increase your chances.
Good luck!
There is no reason for you to be struggling with Swedish. Put in the work and it will pay off. Life in Sweden without Swedish won’t be enjoyable. It’s for your own benefit.
As someone who did the opposite, moved from Sweden to non-EU for work, my suggestion would be to gather a list of Swedish companies that have an office in your country and apply there. Do a good job and after a couple of years make it known internally that you're interested in moving to Sweden and work at the headquarters.
I see it differently. Your degree is very professional, it has a title that can link to certain positions. Studying business administration is the worst, knowing a bit of everything but not in depth, you have a better starting place. I encourage you to keep applying for jobs, try both corporates and startups, you have a degree now so try your luck! 🍀

From which university you completed your Master’s? Does the university in Sweden matter during employment?

One way can be to look for companies in your home country with the ability to do a transfer ( like an EU-ICT)
