The stability fund
The stability fund was set up in the context of the global financial crisis of 2008 to finance certain support measures for the financial system. Today, the fund is used for measures that the Debt Office may take under its role as support and resolution authority.
The banks and institutions paid annual fees to the fund until 2016, when the stability fee was replaced by the resolution fee. Part of the stability fund’s assets were then also transferred to the resolution reserve.
The stability fund is still in place to fund measures within the Debt Office’s role as support authority; that is, its mandate to be capable of providing preventive state support through loan guarantees or capital contributions to viable institutions. The stability fund also constitutes a funding arrangement for measures that the Debt Office can take in its role as the resolution and support authority for central counterparties.
In the same way as for the resolution reserve and the deposit insurance fund, the Debt Office is able to borrow funds on behalf of the stability fund if the balance of the fund is insufficient for financing the decided support measures.
The stability fund’s value amounted to approximately SEK 44.1 billion at the end of 2025.
