The delegation has met, among others, representatives of the Riksbank, the Ministry of Finance, the National Institute of Economic Research, the Swedish National Debt Office and Finansinspektionen, as well as representatives of the Swedish banks. A statement is published today in which Peter Doyle, the head of the delegation for the Article IV Consultation, and Ghiath Shabsigh, the head of the IMF delegation for Sweden’s FSAP, present their views on the Swedish economy and financial sector. The statement is attached below. A complete report will be published on the websites of the IMF and the Riksbank following approval by the Board of the IMF.
