Jan. 26 (Bloomberg) — Volvo AB has outstanding loans of 27.1 billion kronor ($3.3 billion) that are coming due this year, Dagens Nyheter reported, citing its own calculations.

Ten large Swedish companies have bank loans from institutions outside the Nordic region for a total of 1.5 trillion kronor that are coming due in 2009, the newspaper said. If big companies have to rely on extended credit lines for financing, there will be less credit for smaller firms, putting them at risk of bankruptcy, DN reported.

Volvo is the world’s second-largest truckmaker.
