Welcome to The British-Swedish Chamber of Commerce
The British-Swedish Chamber of Commerce is a net-working organisation that consists of around 120 member companies all of whom are interested, or engaged, in trade between Sweden and the UK. The objective of the Chamber is to promote, study, extend, advance and protect commercial and industrial relations between our two countries.
We create interesting forums where senior executives of international companies come together with leaders from political, economic and business life.
Listen to the experienced as history repeats itself
Jakob Palmstierna, among other things former CEO of SEB and Chairman of Nordbanken, spoke to members of the BSCC at a lunch held at Hotel Diplomat 20 April 2009. Mr Palmstierna shared many of his experiences being at the center of the bank crisis in the 90's in Sweden. He further noted that the housing bubbles are the far most dangerous ones, since it affects such a wide audience. Mr Palmstierna sees, as a result of the latest crisis, lower lending capacity, higher costs of capital and more regulation/inspection.
There is a close cooperation between the British Embassy and the Chamber. The Ambassador H E Andrew Mitchell is Honorary Chairman of the Chamber. The Chamber also has on the board the Head of the UK Trade and Investment at the Embassy. The Ambassador is here seen with the Chairman of the Board Mr Björn Savén.
