Repo rate raised 0.25 percentage points to 2.0 per cent
The Swedish economy is growing at a good rate, although international developments are marked by uncertainty. CPI inflation is high at present as a result of rising mortgage rates. At the same time, underlying inflationary pressures remain low, but are expected to increase as economic activity strengthens. The Executive Board of the Riksbank has decided to raise the repo rate by 0.25 percentage points to 2.0 per cent to stabilise inflation around the target of 2 per cent and resource utilisation around a normal level. The forecast for the repo rate is held unchanged.Swedish economy stable
