STOCKHOLM, Sept 20 (Reuters) - Swedish Finance Minister Anders Borg said on Sunday the situation in the Baltic region, where Swedish banks have extended billions of euros worth of loans, represented the biggest risk to the economic outlook.
'The Baltics are the gravest risk,' he told a news conference to present the centre-right government's autumn budget bill. Borg also said there was also a chance that the economic recovery could be firmer than currently forecast.
