Investing in Sweden

This article will cover investments in Sweden through mergers and acquisitions, primarily those of banks.

Generally, foreign takeovers are privately negotiated and made on an agreed basis but they may also be affected by means of a public offer.

The Swedish financial market consists of reliable and efficient systems for saving, financing and mediating payments and risk management, which is of great importance to Swedish wealth. These systems are operated mostly by banks, whose main business is to manage the financial system by accepting deposits and providing credits. They also provide a technically advanced and safe payment system at a low cost, and offer support to corporate and retail customers in assessing their financial risks. The systems are also operated by other credit institutions, insurance companies and securities companies, as well as other companies in the financial sector.
