No reason to worry about another financial crisis

today at 2.30 pm Johanna Sundbeck

Riksbank Governor Erik Thedéen speaks SVT News that the Swedes do not need to worry about a new financial crisis despite the banking crisis that is ongoing internationally.

In April, the forecast is still an increase of 0.25 to 0.5 points.

– The Swedish banking system and the financial system are strong. We have well-capitalized and profitable banks, so in that sense you shouldn’t be worried, says Erik Thedéen to SVT and continues:

– You should also feel secure that the responsible authorities cooperate closely with the government and that there is a great readiness to act if it were to enter another phase.

  • Why is one of the two men who murdered Ulf mentioned with a picture and name and not the other??? After all, both were sentenced as a return.

    Ginger

    Hello! The man whose name and picture we published is sentenced to life imprisonment for murder.

    Life-sentenced murderers are often named, because the public interest in those cases often outweighs possible publicity damage.

    The other man, whose name and picture we have not published, was convicted of aggravated robbery.

    But all cases are different. And name publication is decided on a case-by-case basis.

  • Hello, why has interest in the Ukraine war cooled so much in the Swedish press and news reporting? In foreign reporting, there are lots of analyzes and status reports!

    Otjonsson Otjonsson

    It may feel cold compared to how it was in the first months at the outbreak of the war, when a very large part of the news reporting was devoted to the Ukraine war.

    But I would say we are still reporting intensively. Among other things, we have a team in place now that reports on many fatalities. Feel free to follow our collective reporting here!

  • Hello. What was the big police operation in Stockholm city about yesterday? Nothing more has been written about it.
