News The Riksbank has previously informed about the decision to hedge part of the foreign exchange reserve to reduce the currency risk. This will be done by selling USD 8 billion and EUR 2 billion for Swedish kronor. The Riksbank will publish information on its website on a weekly basis on how much the Riksbank has sold in dollars and euros, the reports will be made retrospectively with a two-week delay. The reports will be published on Fridays at 10.30 a.m., starting on Friday 13 October 2023.
The Riksbank started sales of foreign currency on 25 September 2023 and they will be fully complete within four to six months. The Riksbank will then take part in FX swaps on the foreign exchange market to maintain the size of the foreign exchange reserve.
The information will be available on the Riksbank's website on a new page published on 13 October at 10.30 a.m. with the heading "Currency hedging – sales of dollars and euros", which will be placed under Markets/The gold and foreign currency reserve.
