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 well-functioning national economy
A serious disruption of the financial system could result in significant costs for Sweden's economy. The effective management of financial crises reduces the costs to society.
