This places higher demands on banks’ liquidity management. The Riksbank is therefore taking measures to make it easier for banks to plan their day-to-day liquidity management. The Riksbank is increasing transparency around banks’ resale of Riksbank certificates and will begin publishing information on the longer-term development of the liquidity surplus in the banking system. These two measures provide a better basis for banks’ liquidity planning and are one of several forthcoming steps the Riksbank is taking to facilitate banks’ adjustment to an environment with a smaller liquidity surplus.Thu, 19 Feb 2026 10:30:12 +01002026-02-19T10:30:12+01:00https://www.riksbank.se/en-gb/press-and-published/notices-and-press-releases/notices/2026/riksbank-takes-measures-to-facilitate-banks-liquidity-management/https://www.riksbank.se/en-gb/press-and-published/notices-and-press-releases/notices/2026/new-research-agenda-for-the-riksbank/The Executive Board of the Riksbank has decided on a research agenda for the Riksbank.
