Policy Rate Unchanged at 1.75 Percent

The Swedish Riksbank has decided to keep the policy rate unchanged at 1.75 percent, citing low inflation and a slightly weaker-than-normal economic conjuncture. However, supply disruptions from the war in the Middle East have increased inflationary pressures, leading the Executive Board to raise its probability assessment for a rate hike later this year compared to the March forecast. The Board maintains high readiness to adjust monetary policy due to significant uncertainty surrounding global economic vulnerabilities and geopolitical risks.
