Liquidity

Swedbank manages its liquidity so that it can handle periods of stress in the capital markets, when access to new financing would be limited. The metric used to measure this period is internally referred to as the survival horizon. The bank has built up liquidity reserves and actively prolonged the average maturity profile of all its capital market funding during the last couple of years to extend its survival horizon.
