Date 11/09/2009

The Riksbank is to offer additional USD loans. Loans totalling USD 5 billion will be provided in an auction held on 15 September 2009 for the Riksbank's primary monetary policy counterparties. The loan, which will be provided against collat-eral, has a time to maturity of 84 days and the payment date is 18 September, which means that the loans will fall due on 11 December 2009. As in previous USD auctions, a minimum interest rate will be set that is related to the expected policy rate in the USA.
