Stability in the Financial System (2025:1): Uncertainty could persist for a while
The uncertainty in geopolitical and economic developments is high, and the risk of negative shocks is higher now than it was last autumn. At the same time, Swedish banks have large capital buffers and good profitability, which builds resilience. Financial firms, households and firms all need to be prepared that the uncertainty could persist for a while. These are some of the conclusions from FI's first stability report of the year.
Swedbank receives an administrative fine
Swedbank AB (Swedbank or the bank) is a Swedish joint stock banking company authorised to conduct banking business in accordance with the Banking and Financing Business Act (2004:297). On 3 December 2021, Swedbank notified Finansinspektionen that the bank conducts security-sensitive activities.
FI notifies the EU regarding the extension of the existing risk-weight floor for Swedish mortgages and commercial real estate
FI has notified the Commission and the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB) that it intends to extend for a period of two years the existing risk weight floor for Swedish mortgages from 31 December 2025 as well as the existing risk-weight floor for commercial real estate from 30 September 2025. This is in accordance with Article 458 of the CRR.
The Bank Barometer: Net profit of Swedish banks continues to increase
Swedish banks’ net profit increased by SEK 4 billion in 2024 despite a decrease in net interest income. These are the main conclusions in Finansinspektionen’s report. The report also shows that lending to the public is increasing, as is the percentage of non-performing loans.
The Swedish Mortgage Market: Households need to have margins for an uncertain future
The conditions for household finances improved in 2024. As many as 8 out of 10 households chose a variable interest rate, which is a higher share than in previous years. But the economic development is uncertain. Households need to allow for continued high housing and living costs. These are some of the conclusions from this year’s report on the Swedish mortgage market.
