- As of now, interest rate stands at -0.25% effective from May 6. It had taken the decision in its 29th April meeting. Next meeting is scheduled at 1st July and policy announcement will be on 2nd July. Bank has also extended asset purchase target to SEK 40-50 billion.
Since inflation still remains subdued and very close to deflationary zone, Risk bank is likely to continue providing policy stimulus.
