Kan de svenska hushållens skuldsättning förklara den strukturellt svaga kronan?

Sammanfattning: This paper examines weather the increased dept in Swedish households has an impact on the Swedish exchange rate. A hypothesis is formulated based on several empirical studies, which claims that the Swedish banks use market financing in foreign currency to cover Swedish house loans. By using data from the period 2002 to 2022 on the Swedish exchange rate index and data from the largest banks in Sweden, a linear OLS mode is established. The model estimates a relationship between the dept structure of households in Sweden and the Swedish exchange rate. The results indicate a potential relationship between the dept structure of households and the exchange rate; however, the result showed that the effect on the exchange rate could vary.
