The Swedish equity markets, which are among the largest in the European Union (EU) even in absolute terms, have increasingly become a reference point in policy discussions around capital market development, serving as a case study illustrating the approaches that can help promote successful domestic markets. Previous OECD work has highlighted a set of specific policy themes and initiatives, common to consecutive governments, as key drivers of Swedish market dynamism. A changing structure of domestic as well as global markets, however, requires monitoring and, where appropriate, reforms to ensure the continuation of this success. That includes identifying and implementing reforms where changing conditions call for it, but also recognising and safeguarding the underlying policies that have been foundational to market success.
Chapter 1 contains an assessment of recent developments that may merit policy change and specific recommendations to continue strengthening the Swedish market. Chapter 2 provides an empirical mapping of the market, including peer country comparisons.
