            On 19 December, Minister for Migration and Asylum Policy Tobias Billström received the OECD evaluation of Sweden&#039;s labour migration reform. The report shows, among other things, that Sweden&#039;s system of labour migration appears to be the most open among all OECD countries and there are no indications that the Swedish labour migration system results in lower pay for the domestic labour force. <br/><br/>The OECD also recommends that Sweden strengthens its mechanisms to ensure that employers follow the rules and live up to the terms of employment promised.<br/>

            The Government is to propose higher capital adequacy requirements for systemically important banks in an effort to strengthen the stability of the Swedish banking system and reduce the vulnerability of the Swedish economy. The proposal means that the banks are to have core Tier 1 capital equivalent to at least 10 per cent of risk-weighted assets in 2013 and 12 per cent of risk-weighted assets in 2015. Minister for Financial Markets Peter Norman will give a more detailed presentation at a press conference today. <br/>
