Financial Stability Council

If a financial crisis should arise, the Council would also function as a forum for the discussion of possible measures for handling the crisis.

Meetings of the Council are chaired by the Minister for Financial Markets. Other members are the Director General of Finansinspektionen, the Director General of the Swedish National Debt Office and the Governor of the Riksbank. The Council normally meets twice a year.

The Government and the authorities represented on the Council decide independently what measures should be taken within their respective areas of responsibility. The discussions from the Council's meetings are compiled into a record that is published within two weeks after each meeting.

Further information can be found at regeringen.se, Financial Stability Council.

This cooperation has been ongoing for around 20 years, initially in the form of agreements between the authorities involved and, during the period 2014-2024, as a committee. Since April 2024, the Financial Stability Council is part of the Government Offices.
