Med tanke på det geopolitiska läget är det viktigt att skapa europeiska system på en rad områden. Det säger riksbankschef Erik Thedéen i Ekots lördagsintervju där han lyfter att Sveriges betalsystem inte bör vara lika beroende av USA som det har varit.

The governor of the Central Bank of Sweden comments our payment systems.

Here’s an AI translation of the text into English:

“Given the geopolitical situation, it is important to create European systems in a number of areas. This is according to Riksbank Governor Erik Thedéen in an interview with Ekot’s Saturday program, where he emphasizes that Sweden’s payment systems should not be as dependent on the USA as they have been. As an example, he points out that the two dominant credit card issuers, Mastercard and Visa, are American. ‘It is probably wise to consider that we should also have European or Swedish systems that function in case the American ones do not,’ he says. According to the central bank governor, Swish is ‘a certain complement.’ He also highlights that other countries, such as Denmark, have their own national credit cards.”
