The Government's measures during the financial crisis of 2008
In October 2008 one of the largest American investment banks collapsed. Confidence between financial market agents disappeared and the crisis became acute. A brief presentation is given here of the Government's measures to stabilise the financial sector from 2008 onwards.
Financial stability - Who does what?
The responsibility for promoting financial stability is shared between the Ministry of Finance, Finansinspektionen (the Financial Supervisory Authority), the Riksbank (the central bank) and the National Debt Office. The interplay between the authorities is important, both in preventive measures to maintain financial stability and in the event of a financial crisis.
