On Thursday, Olof Stenhammar handed over material from OM's first ten years of operation as a deposit at the Centre for Business History in Bromma outside Stockholm.
The documents document one of the formative periods of the Swedish financial market, when Olof Stenhammar introduced new financial instruments and new ways of trading securities, often in more or less open conflict with the older and established actors of the financial market.
− Through our new perspectives and technical solutions, the renewal of the Swedish financial market began, comments Olof Stenhammar, who also portrayed the period in his recently released memoirs, It will work out, which was published on 10/16 by Ekerlids publishing.
The material, originating from OM, covers a little more than one shelf-meter and contains minutes, memos, reports, and correspondence to and from financial market actors from the 1980s and 1990s and will now have its place in the secured archive premises of the Centre for Business History in southern Ulvsunda.
− It is a privilege to manage documents of such importance for our modern financial history. Through this deposit, we can take responsibility that future research has access to sources from a period as dramatic as it is dynamic in the Swedish economy.
