The Riksbank is to increase the price of 28-day loans

Date

The Riksbank is to increase the price of 28-day loans in Swedish kronor. The supplement over and above the average repo rate during the maturity of the loans will be increased to 0.50 percentage points. This price will encourage the banks to utilise normal market funding.

This change to the conditions governing the loans represents a further step in the phase-out of the Riksbank's support measures, which were introduced in the autumn of 2008. The price increase is to be made against the background of the Riksbank's assessment that the Swedish banks have good access to market funding in Swedish kronor.

Auctions of loans with a maturity of 28 days will, as communicated previously, take place when the two remaining fixed-rate loans of approximately SEK 195 billion that the Riksbank has made to the banks fall due.

The first auction under the adjusted conditions will take place on 26 July.
