After suffering declines for several years due to a slow economy, employment in the accounting and finance field is growing. This is due to Stockholm assuming greater importance as a regional financial center and the improving economy and strong stock market performance, a recovery in corporate lending and increased mortgage lending activity.

Indeed, the development of a Nordic-Baltic Stock Exchange has caused growing numbers of large regional banks and private equity firms to show interest in Sweden, and more specifically, Stockholm. Foreign financial services giants like Belgian-Dutch Fortis Financial and Denmark's largest lender, Danske Bank, are expanding their presence in Stockholm. Additionally, the Norwegian life insurance and asset management company Storebrand Livsforsikring has entered the Swedish market, targeting high-wealth customers.

This is just a sample of what you'll find in the complete Sweden guide.
