On 10 February, representatives of the government, the Riksbank, the Swedish National Debt Office and Finansinspektionen (the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority) gathered for the inaugural meeting of the Financial Stability Council.
A summary of the discussions held during the meeting is presented in the following minutes (only in swedish).
The Financial Stability Council consists of the Minister for Financial Markets, the Director General of Finansinspektionen, the Director General of the Swedish National Debt Office and the Governor of the Riksbank. The purpose of the council is to discuss issues relating to financial stability and the need for measures to prevent the build-up of financial imbalances and, in the event of a financial crisis, to discuss the need for measures to manage such a situation.
The government and the authorities represented on the Council decide independently what measures should be taken within their respective areas of responsibility. The Council is a forum for discussion and not a decision-making body.
