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.
