Erik Thedéen visits Skellefteå

“Inflation has fallen and is on firmer ground. We should therefore have seen the interest rate peak now, and there is some probability that we can cut the rate during the first half of the year. However, there are risks that could cause inflation to rise again. Any interest rate cuts must therefore be made with caution.”

This was the message from Governor Erik Thedéen when he visited Skellefteå today to speak at the Västerbotten Chamber of Commerce, meet representatives from the municipality and the business community and make company visits.

“We are whole of Sweden’s central bank. Skellefteå and Västerbotten are in an expansive phase with major investments and establishments. I really appreciate the opportunity to visit the region and hear about the challenges and opportunities found here."
