Think it has anything to being overrun by Muslims?

a 50 year mortgage without touching the principle? I call that ‘renting’.

Sweden is a socialist country and is quickly running out of other people’s money.

“Sweden’s centre-right government has asked regulators to come up with a plan to force repayment schedules. It has set a November deadline - which if opinion polls are right will be two months after it loses power to a centre-left opposition.
The Social Democrats have not laid out plans on the matter...”
LOL! Isn’t democracy grand?

Good article.

I thought Sweden was the socialist utopia America was aiming for. Everything is perfect there. Education is free. Health care is free. I KNOW!!! Sweden needs to import more third world immigrants who refuse to adopt their host country’s culture and lavish welfare benefits on them.

Could a nation survive an average “household debt-to-income ratio above 170 percent”?

Yes, of course. If Swedish companies continue performing like they've done recently (look at H&M, IKEA, Skype, Ericsson, Volvo, Electrolux - just to mention a few) people in Sweden will be able to pay their hefty loans. It, actually, is that simple. As long as workers are highly productive and earn well, they can borrow a lot as well as consuming a lot.

Today, the economy of Sweden is sound. That was not the case 25 years ago when my country discouraged Capitalism and entrepreneurship.
