Lending increased more among consumer credit firms than among other firms in the banking sector, which overall experienced a clear slow-down in lending. The major banks also continued to lose market shares on the Swedish lending market. These are the main findings in this publication of the Bank Barometer.
The Swedish financial system is stable and the financial sector’s preparedness for crisis and war has been strengthened.
