Finansinspektionen Risks in the financial system 2013 report
November 14, 2013--The high level of debt among Swedish households poses a risk to individual households and, in the long run, also to financial stability. Finansinspektionen FI currently believes that raising the risk weight floor to 25 per cent would be a sound decision. Major Swedish banks have sufficient resilience to a sharp downturn in the economy, but their considerable dependence on market funding continues to be a risk.
The major banks should therefore be conservative in the long run with regard to dividends since they have small margins above the buffer requirements. These are the conclusions from FI’s annual Risk Report.
