The global crisis of the late 2000s brought Sweden a deep, but short-lived recession. One ought to recognize, however, the actions taken by the authorities to fight the contraction. The government, thanks to healthy public finances, was able to inject a fiscal stimulus to the economy, which was aligned with long-term assumptions of economic development of the country. The central bank, on the other hand, basing on the experiences of the crisis of the early 1990s, followed a policy of liquidity support, full transparency, free floating of currency and bringing back trust into the system. Owing to the above actions the recession ended quickly and left no longstanding mark on the Swedish economy.
