Repo rate raised by 0.25 percentage points to 4.25 per cent

2/13/2008 At its meeting on 12 February, the Executive Board of the Riksbank decided to raise the repo rate to 4.25 per cent. The decision on the repo rate will apply from Wednesday, 20 February. Inflation is expected to be high, while economic activity remains good. A repo rate of around 4.25 per cent over the coming year will contribute to bringing inflation back towards the target of 2 per cent a couple of years ahead. It will also lead to a balanced development in production and employment. However, there is still considerable uncertainty regarding the economic outlook and inflation prospects. read more

The Riksbank publishes the Material for Assessing Monetary Policy

2/18/2008 Every year the Riksdag Committee on Finance assesses the monetary policy conducted during the immediately preceding years. The Riksbank compiles and publishes material for this assessment. Previously the material was included in the first Monetary Policy Report of every year. As a result of the assessment of the monetary policy made in 2006, the Committee on Finance has decided that this material should instead be provided in a separate report. Today the Riksbank publishes the first such report: "Material for Assessing Monetary Policy 2005-2007”. read more
