Abstract

This chapter concerns regulatory changes in Sweden and internationally during the 1960s and 1970s. Domestically, a number of factors gradually changed the banking landscape which meant that adjustments to the regulatory post-World War II framework. The use of the Riksbank regulatory measures was increasingly adjusted to macroeconomic changes and stability problems, instead of political priorities. Internationally, the crumbling of the Bretton Woods and the oil crisis of the 1970s are the main topics covered. This set the stage for dramatic changes for the Swedish banking sector, as in other countries.
