on Tuesday it was announced that Reinfeldt had another new job, now as a senior adviser to US bank Bank of America Merrill Lynch. In particular the financial sector also looks Reinfeldt taken two big uncertainties, and the US presidential election as he did not want to predict the outcome of, and any British withdrawal from the EU. With only a few months to the referendum in the UK, he says:

– Until that decision is made, we will see a lot of uncertainty and it will grow the closer we get. A decision on withdrawal will also be followed by enhanced uncertainty and long time of negotiations before we know how a relationship with a future Britain will look like, he said.

Especially for the Swedish part of the decision may have major consequences.

– the country outside the UK that has the greatest reason to monitor developments surrounding the decision is Sweden where we do not have the euro as currency. It is clear that the British emphasis remains in Europe secures also the possibility of respect for the Swedish people’s decision to have the euro as currency.

– Without Britain in the EU, I think we will see a different kind of membership for Sweden in the future.

the work as a senior advisor to the Bank of America Merrill Lynch is now beginning, and combined with the chairman job in the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative.

– I see it as an excellent opportunity with my political background and experience in a large and global banking provide political analysis and in a time of major changes going on.
