At least something to laugh about: Sweden's Riksbank is seeking legislative action to bolster its financial standing following substantial losses incurred from bond investments during a period of tepid inflation. The central bank has formally requested a capital infusion of 43.7 billion Swedish kronor ($4.1 billion) to replenish its equity to the mandated threshold, as outlined in a proposal submitted on Tuesday. The gigantic deficit stems from the sale of government bonds, which have devalued significantly. So people: buy government bonds urgently, stay away from speculative things like Bitcoin!
