The Sweden Capital Markets Forum

Euromoney is delighted to announce the launch of its first Sweden Capital Markets Forum on Tuesday 4 September in Stockholm.

Gathering the key players in the Swedish market, this event will focus on the stability offered by the Swedish market and the opportunities this offers to issuers and investors in such volatile times elsewhere.

Like every other economy, Sweden has been affected by the credit crisis and subsequent global slowdown in the past three years.

However unlike some of their European counterparts, the major Swedish banks have been resilient to this crisis and remain well-capitalised by international comparisons. The Krona has the status of a niche, safe haven reserve currency and Swedish markets offer a diversification play from bruised Euroland.

Some of the topics Euromoney's Sweden Capital Markets Forum will examine are:

• The Eurozone debt crisis and bank sector instability: opportunities and risks for Sweden
• The financing squeeze: regulatory pressure throughout Europe for banks to deleverage and shore up reserves means less lending - can bond markets take up the slack?
• Sweden's debt markets: mortgages; govvies; Komuninvest and the corporate cream - can markets be deepened and broadened?
• The financing of Swedish industry and exports: a pinched middle and the need for a Mittelstand financing initiative?
• Sweden and Swedish companies in the emerging markets century: funding expansion and global reach for Swedish infrastructure, manufacturing and services.

Join us in September for this inaugural event to find out more about the stability and value offered by Sweden’s banks and financial markets in these troubled times for the wider euro capital markets.
