STOCKHOLM, Jan 31 (Reuters) - Sweden's banks are highly
exposed to the commercial real estate sector which makes up the
main risk to financial stability, central bank Governor Erik
Thedeen said in remarks to parliament's Finance Committee during
regular testimony.
"Vulnerabilities primarily include banks' and bond holders'
exposure to highly indebted commercial property companies,
although high household indebtedness also makes the system
vulnerable," Thedeen said.
