New schedule for loans in SEK at variable interest rate

Date 03/09/2009

The Riksbank has been offering loans in Swedish krona at longer maturities and at a variable interest rate in auctions held approximately once a fortnight since 13 February. As of 1 June, the loans are offered at maturities of approximately 3, 6 and 12 months. The maturities applying in coming auctions during the autumn are shown in a schedule published on the Riksbank's website. The exact terms for each auction will be published at least two days prior to the auction. The announced sums will be set taking into account the prevailing market conditions and the outcome of previous auctions. The minimum interest rate in the auctions will be set at the average repo rate during the maturity of the loan with a supplement of 0.15 percentage points regardless of the maturity.
