These conclusions are drawn by Karin Östling Svensson of the Financial Stability Department in a new Economic Commentary.Wed, 08 Apr 2026 10:30:12 +02002026-04-08T10:30:12+02:00https://www.riksbank.se/en-gb/press-and-published/notices-and-press-releases/notices/2026/risk-of-future-housing-surplus--smaller-municipalities-most-vulnerable/https://www.riksbank.se/en-gb/press-and-published/notices-and-press-releases/notices/2026/major-swedish-banks-at-centre-of-closely-interconnected-financial-network/In a new Economic Commentary, the authors describe how Swedish credit institutions are interconnected through their bilateral exposures.

This was one of the messages when he gave his views on the banks’ capital requirements in a panel discussion at SNS/Swedish House of Finance.
