Riksbank interest rates

The Riksbank sets what are known as key interest rates as part of its monetary policy. These rates are the deposit rate, the lending rate and the repo rate. The repo rate is the most important key rate. The marginal rate was the Riksbank’s key rate from December 1985 until the end of May 1994, when it was replaced by the repo rate.

 

In addition to the monetary policy key rates, the Riksbank also sets the reference rate (previously the discount rate), which is referred to in the Interest Act.
