Acting in different ways under different circumstances Extraordinary events often require extraordinary measures Other ”tools” Greater speed, flexibility and force Decisions – what information do you have and what do you foresee ahead? A metaphor…

Almost two ”different worlds” Dramatic change in circumstances after Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy in September From a situation where the Swedish financial markets are functioning fairly well, to one where some sub-markets were on hold From expectations of a fairly smooth downturn in economic activity, to much poorer prospects

Changed conditions for our policy Financial crisis not yet over Monetary policy and financial stability -the tasks are always closely linked, but… -under conditions such as a financial crisis the dividing lines have been erased Measures to safeguard financial stability are significant for monetary policy and vice versa

The crisis may worsen but … The recovery may also come sooner Weaker exchange rate and lower productivity growth may lead to higher inflation Extraordinary events may require extraordinary measures… …but we are prepared! Unusually great uncertainty in the forecasts

Many gloomy headlines, but a turnaround will come eventually Why will things go better this time? Although there are factors that look worse than in the 1990s International economic activity Uncertainty over global financial crisis There are many more that look better now…

So why will things go better this time? Not a ”home-made” crisis Surplus on current account Sound public finances Better conditions for both fiscal and monetary policy Lower interest rates to start with Updated regulations, focus on borrowing and capital
