The Macro Research team is responsible for all global, regional and national macroanalysis at Swedbank. The team comprises highly skilled and well-known economists and is widely recognised for Swedbank Economic Outlook (SEO), a quarterly report that focuses on macroanalysis of the Swedish and Baltic markets and the global economy as well as in-depth analysis of current market factors. Swedbank's aim is to be at the forefront of the increasing demand for macroanalysis that is customised to meet specific client requirements.

"I am very pleased to welcome Mattias Persson to Swedbank. He has substantial experience of areas that are essential for our analysis work and our clients - areas such as the financial markets, financial stability and sustainability. Mattias is also known for his ability to communicate complex issues to a broad audience, and he will lead our team in an outstanding way," says Ola Laurin, Head of Large Corporates & Institutions, Swedbank.
Mattias Persson will begin his new role at Swedbank no later than in September 2020 and will report to Ola Laurin.

"I am very much looking forward to leading one of the most competent macroeconomic teams in the Nordic-Baltic region - and to developing Swedbank's analysis and above all supporting the bank's clients during a very challenging time," says Mattias Persson, incoming Chief Economist and Global Head of Macro Research.
