What do the values ​​mean?

Interest rate 

SWESTR (Swedish krona Short Term Rate) is always expressed to three decimal places. Read more on the page Calculation method and transaction dataset for SWESTR.

Value day for the interest rate

SWESTR is calculated on the basis of the previous banking day’s transactions and is therefore presented with a time lag of one day. The value day is the day the rate value refers to.

Publication day

SWESTR is published at 09.00 every banking day. If transaction data is received or validated late, the Riksbank has the possibility of updating the value at 12.00 on the same day, at which point it will become the new official value. However, an update of the interest rate listing will only be made if the deviation between the interest rate published at 09.00 and the new calculated interest rate exceeds two basis points.

Volume

The total transaction volume on which the calculation of SWESTR is based.

Number of reporting agencies

Number of reporting agencies that have contributed transaction data for the calculation of SWESTR.

Number of transactions

Number of underlying transactions used for the calculation of SWESTR.

Calculation method

When the transaction dataset does not fulfil one or more robustness requirements, or in the case of technical problems, SWESTR will be calculated in an alternative manner. If this is the case, the reason for the alternative calculation method will be presented.

1. Insufficient number of reporters
2. Insufficient volume
3. Excessive volume share
4. Technical problems

Search interest and exchange rates

You can search for interest rates and exchange rates in the Riksbank’s database. The database is normally updated twice a day, at around 9.10 am and 12.10 pm. Different series are updated at these different times.

New API for interest rates and exchange rates under development

The Riksbank is developing a new more modern API (Application Programming Interface) with the aim of making it easier for users to automatically retrieve interest rates and exchange rates from the Riksbank. A beta version of this new REST API is now available. The Riksbank’s old SOAP API will be phased out.

Beta version: Retrieving interest rates and exchange rates via REST API

SEK/RUB

28/3/2022 Due to the low liquidity in the market and the high volatility of the SEK/RUB rate, the Riksbank will for the moment cease publishing the rouble rate as of Monday, 28 March 2022. Publication of this exchange rate will resume when it is judged that market conditions have changed. The rouble is also excluded from the calculation of the KIX index.
