Summary:
Sweden’s banking system meets most standard measures of financial soundness. But with its very large and wholesale-dependent banking sector, high and increasing household debt, and resurgent house price growth, additional measures are needed to contain mounting financial stability risks. On the supply side, this means continuing to strengthen capital and liquidity requirements. However, theoretical and empirical evidence points to a need to also limit credit demand, including through effective steps to increase the rate of mortgage amortization.
