Sverige skulle sätta in 150 miljoner SEK, typ "in kind", från svensk sida för att stimulera både etablerandet av instrumenten och svensk kunnande.
Does this just translate as "in kind" even though it doesn't really mean anything as cash is cash?

more or less
I don't quite see it as "so to speak" as MSEK 150 is not being used in an unusual way. I think it's more a question of the amount not being precise, down to the last Kronor, hence my suggestion.

so to speak
It's an (informal) interjection that just means 'so to speak', or 'as in', something like that.

sort of
Another suggestion, instead of "so to speak", which, in my opinion, fits and sounds better.
I agree that "typ" can also mean "more or less", but I wouldn't translate it in that way for a given context.

Agneta Pallinder
: "sort of" is as lazy an interjection as "typ" - fits well.

I suggest leave it out. There is the explanation in English "in kind", which can be left in with the quotation marks to cover a multitude of sins, including the poor writing others have mentioned.
