The Riksbank celebrates 10 years as an independent central bank
Date
11/09/2009
On Friday 11 September, we will celebrate the fact that the Riksbank became formally independent 10 years ago. We will do this by hosting a conference for invited guests from the Riksdag, authorities and agencies, the social partners, the academic sphere and the media.
The conference will be about how the Riksbank has developed as an authority since 1999 and how the Riksbank has become one of the most open central banks in the world.
Three papers have been written in connection with this 10th anniversary. They will be presented and discussed during the day. All of the papers relate in some way to the new Sveriges Riksbank Act that was passed in 1999.
The presentations will be followed by a panel debate on the theme "How has decision-making, communication and accountability been affected with regard to the Riksbank's areas of responsibility – monetary policy and financial stability?"
