Seems like the Swedish finance minister was on the back foot today, when he used the following statement to justify or attempt to calm fears regarding Swedens personal debt levels.
"For my part, it is not evident that draconian measures to bring down debt levels are needed."
I love that the minister used the word "draconian".
Seems like a desperate attempt to save face and go on the attack.

For those who bother to read the article it´s clear that finance minister Anders Borg said no such thing, it´s the financial markets minister Peter Norman that is quoted.
