Ohlsson: No straightforward decision

  • Date:
  • Speaker: Deputy Governor Henry Ohlsson
  • Place: Nordea, Malmö
On Thursday, Deputy Governor Henry Ohlsson is visiting Malmö where he is talking about the Riksbank’s latest repo-rate cut, which took place in light of the expectation that inflation will be lower in 2016 than predicted in the previous forecast.

At Nordea’s lunch meeting in Malmö, Mr Ohlsson will point out that the Swedish economy is now strong and that inflation and inflation expectations are rising. However, there is great uncertainty about the situation abroad. “The inflation target is important at the same time as inflation and inflation expectations have been below the target for a long time,” Mr Ohlsson says.

 

In conjunction with the Monetary Policy Reports, members of the Executive Board go to different part of Sweden and abroad to present the conclusions from the monetary policy decisions. The members give presentations and, depending on the situation, meet financial market players and representatives of business and industry, local government, the media and/or representatives of universities or colleges in the area concerned.
