DATE 18/09/2008
Despite the recent financial turbulence, the Riksbank’s assessment is that financial stability in Sweden is still satisfactory. The Riksbank is following developments very closely and has regular contact with the banks and other market agents. The Swedish National Debt Office has decided to take measures to counteract the shortage of treasury bills that has arisen in the wake of the global financial turbulence. “These measures have been taken in consultation with the Riksbank and we have regular contacts with all of the banks and government authorities involved”, says First Deputy Governor Irma Rosenberg.
