Governor Stefan Ingves will hold a speech on the challenges monetary policy has to manage and the driving forces behind the use of new tools, such as using the balance sheet to reach the inflation target when the level of interest rates is very low. This is particularly relevant now, in light of the coronavirus pandemic, which means that many of the Riksbank's measures have consequences for the balance sheet. In conclusion, he highlights how the legislative proposals of the current Riksbank Inquiry may affect the Riksbank’s ability to conduct its activities.
