Stockholm, July 6 (BridgeNews) - The Swedish central bank, the Riksbank, raised its key repo rate by 0.25 percentage points to 4.25%. The Riksbank said it made the decision because "the risk of inflation exceeding the Riksbank's 2% target 1-2 years from now is judged to have become somewhat greater. This mainly has to do with resource utilization remaining high, despite the ongoing slowdown, and the Swedish krona's low value."
