The economic outlook in Sweden has weakened as a result of developments abroad. In order to stabilise inflation around 2 per cent and resource utilisation in the economy around a normal level, the Executive Board of the Riksbank has decided to cut the repo rate by 0.25 percentage points to 1.50 per cent. The repo rate is expected to remain at this level until some time in 2013.

Demand weakened towards the end of last year, above all in the manufacturing industry, and the companies began to cut back their production levels and the number of jobs. The economic climate is expected to deteriorate further over the next six months. This has already made its mark on the companies’ pricing plans and fewer companies now believe that they will be able to increase their prices during the year.Wed, 08 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.riksbank.se/en/Press-and-published/Press/Press-Releases/2012/Marianne-Nessen-new-Head-of-Monetary-Policy-Department/The Executive Board of the Riksbank has appointed Marianne Nessén as new Head of the Monetary Policy Department.
