The Riksbank lowered its key policy rate by 25bps to 3.25% during its September 2024 meeting, following a similar move in August and in line with market expectations. Policymakers signaled further cuts in the two remaining monetary policy meetings of the year, if the outlook for inflation and economic activity remains unchanged, with a potential 50 basis points reduction at one of these meetings. In addition, central bank forecasts indicate one or two further rate cuts during the first half of 2025. The policy rate is thus expected to be lowered at a clearly faster pace than was previously communicated, which contributes to stronger economic activity and an inflation rate close to the target. Policymakers also noted that there has been an evident shift in the balance of risks for the outlook for inflation and economic activity since last spring, with the risk of inflation becoming too high gradually declining.
