The Riksbank will continue to offer loans in US dollars against collateral to its primary monetary policy counterparties after the turn of the year to replace the loans maturing on 9 and 16 January respectively. An auction will be held on 7 January for loans with a maturity of 84 days. A further auction will be held on 14 January for loans with a 28-day maturity. The volume offered at both auctions will amount to USD 10 billion.
As in earlier auctions of US dollars, a minimum interest rate will be set. This will be linked to the expected policy rate in the United States.
