The Riksbank to offer USD loans on 26 November

The Riksbank is to offer additional USD loans. Loans totalling USD 5 billion will be provided in an auction held on 26 November for the Riksbank's primary monetary policy counterparties.

The loans, which will be provided against collateral, have a time to maturity of 84 days and the payment date is 28 November, which means that the loans will fall due on 20 February 2009.

As in previous USD auctions, a minimum interest rate will be set that is related to the expected policy rate in the USA.
