Capital injection of SEK 25 billion paid to the Riksbank
News On the 19th of September the Government decided on the payment of the capital injection to the Riksbank. The payment to the Riksbank will be made tomorrow, Wednesday 25th of September.
According to the Sveriges Riksbank Act, the Riksbank shall make a submision to the Riksdag to restore equity if equity becomes too low. After the 2023 financial statements and appropriation of profit, the Riksbank's equity fell below the minimum level stipulated in the Sveriges Riksbank Act. The Riksbank therefore made a submission to the Riksdag to restore equity in spring 2024. In June, the Riksdag decided on a capital injection of SEK 25 billion and the Government has now decided on the payment to the Riksbank. The capital injection, which is to be paid out on Wednesday 25th of September, will bring the Riksbank's equity to SEK 23 billion.
