"Growth and employment are higher than in many of our neighbouring countries and we see signs that the low inflation has bottomed out. But the risks from abroad have increased. We cannot just sit back and do nothing. We are still prepared to take action if it should prove necessary to support the rise in inflation and ensure the favourable conditions in Sweden continue," says Ms Skingsley.
