Riksbank Governor Erik Thedéen sees risks in the large investments in AI, particularly because much of them are financed with debt. He says this in Ekot’s Saturday interview on Sveriges Radio.
Thedéen says that AI could have a major positive impact on the economy, but that it is unclear which companies will be winners and losers. He believes the development could lead to a disorderly downturn for some companies, but says that no one can determine whether the AI boom is a bubble.
Thedéen also says that the Swedish economy is doing fairly well, but highlights that the labor market remains weak and that inflation persists. The Riksbank Governor also says that he assumes the next government will pursue tighter fiscal policy.
