The Swedish economy has undergone spectacular convulsions since the mid-1980s. Several aspects of the development are common to many industrialised countries: an unusually long period of economic expansion, involving financial liberalisation and characterised by low real rates of interest, rising asset prices, rapid growth in private consumption, declining household saving rates and rising corporate and household indebtedness. Eventually this period of expansion was followed by downturns of varying severity, with increasing real rates of interest accompanied by falling asset prices, balance sheet consolidation, financial fragility , slow or negative income growth, rising unemployment, and expanding public deficits. This cycle is prominent in countries such as the USA, Japan and the UK.2In Sweden, the turnaround was particularly dramatic.3Therefore, the Swedish case is of special interest when studying the anatomy of the process.
