STOCKHOLM, Jan 31 (Reuters) - Sweden's banks have
sufficient capital to cope with potential losses from the
heavily indebted commercial real estate sector, the acting head
of the Financial Supervisory Authority said on Tuesday.
"We judge ... that banks have enough capital to absorb the
large credit losses that could arise from the commercial real
estate sector," Susanna Grufman said in regular testimony to
Sweden's parliament.
