The Riksbank to offer USD loans on 7 August

The Riksbank is to offer additional USD loans. Loans totalling USD 10 billion will be provided in an auction held on 7 August 2009 for the Riksbank's primary monetary policy counterparties. The loan, which will be provided against collateral, has a time to maturity of 84 days and the payment date is 11 August, which means that the loans will fall due on 3 November 2009. As in previous USD auctions, a minimum interest rate will be set that is related to the expected policy rate in the USA. For the complete terms see www.riksbank.se
