The current level of the policy rate is assessed to contribute to economic activity strengthening and inflation stabilising around the target in the longer term.Thu, 29 Jan 2026 09:30:13 +01002026-01-29T09:30:13+01:00https://www.riksbank.se/en-gb/press-and-published/notices-and-press-releases/press-releases/2026/policy-rate-unchanged-at-1.75-per-centhttps://www.riksbank.se/en-gb/press-and-published/notices-and-press-releases/press-releases/2025/minutes-of-the-monetary-policy-meeting-on-17-december-2025/Minutes of the monetary policy meeting on 17 December 2025Tue, 30 Dec 2025 09:30:12 +01002025-12-30T09:30:12+01:00https://www.riksbank.se/en-gb/press-and-published/notices-and-press-releases/press-releases/2025/minutes-of-the-monetary-policy-meeting-on-17-december-2025/https://www.riksbank.se/en-gb/press-and-published/notices-and-press-releases/press-releases/2025/policy-rate-unchanged-at-12.75-per-centThe prospects for the Swedish economy are looking brighter. Although it will take time before economic activity returns to normal, the recovery is under way. At the same time, inflation has approached 2 per cent. The Executive Board of the Riksbank has decided to leave the policy rate unchanged at 1.75 per cent and the rate is expected to remain at this level for some time to come.Thu, 18 Dec 2025 09:30:18 +01002025-12-18T09:30:18+01:00https://www.riksbank.se/en-gb/press-and-published/notices-and-press-releases/press-releases/2025/policy-rate-unchanged-at-12.75-per-centhttps://www.riksbank.se/en-gb/press-and-published/notices-and-press-releases/press-releases/2025/strategic-allocation-of-the-gold-and-foreign-exchange-reserves-unchanged/The Riksbank has decided on an unchanged strategic allocation of the gold and foreign exchange reserves for 2026. In addition, the current currency hedging will be maintained. Despite large exchange rate fluctuations this year, the current portfolio is still considered to provide a good balance between preparedness, risk and return. The currency hedging helps reduce the financial risk on the Riksbank’s balance sheet and has dampened the negative effect of a stronger krona on the Riksbank’s financial results.

The security situation remains serious. While the ambiguity surrounding US trade policy has eased somewhat, it is unclear how permanent the current stance will be or what impact it may have. Moreover, there are vulnerabilities, not least in the form of high asset valuations and continued high and growing public debt in several major economies. In times of uncertainty, it is particularly important to safeguard global regulatory frameworks that strengthen the resilience of the financial system.Thu, 13 Nov 2025 09:30:19 +01002025-11-13T09:30:19+01:00https://www.riksbank.se/en-gb/press-and-published/notices-and-press-releases/press-releases/2025/risks-to-financial-stability-remain-in-an-uncertain-world/
