Financial Times writes that according to the Bank of International Settlements (BIS), Swedish banks have 80 billion USD or almost 1 trillion kroons worth of tied-up assets in the Baltic States. Such a huge amount comprises 16 percent of the gross domestic product of Sweden. It is also an interesting fact that Swedbank has more loan clients in the Baltic States in 2009 than in Sweden.
