Yesterday, a well-attended seminar was held at the Stockholm Centre for Commercial Law (SCCL) on preparedness and resilience – particularly on operational crisis management. During the seminar, discussions were held on how the legal framework can be used to improve the conditions for payment systems, capital supply, and risk management to function during a major crisis. Special attention was given to a current legislative proposal for a new function for operational crisis management aimed at handling severe operational disruptions in the financial system. Aron Verständig opened with a background on the legislative proposal. Maria Lundström explained the role and mandate of Sweden’s central bank in preparedness. Magnus Jacobson then shared the perspectives of companies and the Swedish Bankers’ Association, followed by an interesting panel discussion. The seminar was the second in the finance law research department’s series on the theme of geo-economics and the impact of geopolitics on the financial market. A big thank you to everyone who participated!
