General liquidity support

To counteract a serious disturbance in the financial system in Sweden, the Riksbank may provide general liquidity support. General liquidity support is aid aimed at a group of financial actors.

The Riksbank can provide general liquidity support by:

Offering credits
Entering into repurchase agreements
Buying and selling financial instruments

In the event of financial unease or crisis, the Riksbank also has the possibility of taking general liquidity measures for monetary policy purposes.
