Sweden Future Proofs Payments

Sveriges Riksbank has issued its 2022 Payments Report into the retail payments market ¹. The report underlines the wide-ranging activities of the Riksbank to support the needs of all sectors of society when it comes to payment – access to payments for all whether in-person or not, including those who find the digital world a challenge, instant payments, efficient payments, cross-border payments and future payments.

The challenges and concerns faced will be shared by many countries, not just those in Europe, and the solutions will be of interest even where shaped by Sweden’s position within the Nordic, European and global community, and by Sweden’s banking and societal structure. Resilience, efficiency, co-operation and preparing for the future are recurring themes in every section of the report.
