Commercial real estate firms constitute the single largest risk of credit losses for banks in a stressed scenario. However, other sectors’ total loss contribution in such scenario is equally large. This is the conclusion of a new analysis by Finansinspektionen (FI) of how banks’ credit losses could be impacted by a macroeconomic shock.

The sentiment in the Swedish economy has improved in recent months even if households continue to demonstrate weaker sentiment than normal.

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.
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.
