Bloomberg Economics reported that the Riksbank kept Sweden’s borrowing costs unchanged for a twelfth straight month. The central bank left its key rate at the same level as in the previous month, continuing a prolonged period of inactivity.
The bank’s statement noted that the likelihood of a rate increase within 2026 has grown. Officials linked this change in outlook to the recovery in economic activity across the country. The report did not specify the current interest rate level, nor did it include a vote count or a detailed policy path for future decisions.
