The Swedish Riksbank's Executive Board decided to maintain the policy rate at 1.75 percent, citing high uncertainty regarding the Middle East conflict and its impact on global supply chains and inflation. While the immediate risk of secondary inflationary effects is assessed as limited due to low underlying inflation and anchored expectations, the Board adjusted its interest rate path upward to account for potential escalation scenarios. The decision reflects a cautious approach to waiting for clearer data on the conflict's resolution and its long-term economic consequences.
