STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said on Monday his country and its citizens were exposed to risks by potential leaks of sensitive material from an IT-contract that one official said had been rushed.

Lofven told a news conference he regretted he had not been informed earlier about the issue, which stems from the outsourcing of IT-services for the Swedish Transport Agency to IBM Sweden in 2015.
