Financial stability
Financial crises are one of the most costly things a society can suffer. If a crisis arises in a bank or another institution, the Swedish National Debt Office is responsible for dealing with the situation.

How do we manage a bank in crisis?
The Debt Office assumes control of a bank or financial institution in crisis if it is deemed to be systemically important. This allows the central government to act quickly and forcefully to manage a financial crisis without jeopardising tax funds.

Resolution of Central Counterparties
Central counterparties have become increasingly important players in financial systems and play an important role for financial stability.
A functioning national economy
Effective crisis management reduces the costs to society. A serious disruption of the system can entail great costs to the national economy.
