NORDIC STOCKS - Factors to watch on June 4

HELSINKI, June 4 (Reuters) - The following stocks may be affected by newspaper reports and other factors on Thursday:

SWEDISH BANKS

Sweden is prepared to take stakes in the country's banks if they fail to manage their mounting loan losses, Sweden's Finance Minister Anders Borg said on Swedish television on Wednesday.

"If the banks approach us with large credit losses after making a lot of money on lending, their shareholders will have to pay the consequences," Borg told broadcaster SVT.

Borg's comments were in line with a bank support package put in place by the government earlier this year.
