Both the country’s government and central bank said they are monitoring the situation closely but played down the risk of a disruption to financial stability.With 1.2 trillion kronor of assets under management, Alecta said its US bank losses won’t impact its solvency ratio, which totaled 218% at the end of 2022.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":9943616800,"gmtCreate":1679405291201,"gmtModify":1679405294990,"author":{"id":"3551139414186896","authorId":"3551139414186896","name":"Slowdownpok","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3551139414186896","authorIdStr":"3551139414186896"},"htmlText":"Good move?
