Sweden's financial regulator, Finansinspektionen, said on Dec. 27 that it will keep at 3% the systemic risk buffer applied to the country's four largest lenders.

The regulator reviews the buffer on a biennial basis. It applies to Nordea Bank AB (publ), Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB, Svenska Handelsbanken AB (publ) and Swedbank AB (publ)
