(Sharecast News) - Sweden's central bank kept interest rates on hold, but said there was still the possibility of a cut later in the year with inflation running above target.
The Riksbank kept its key interest rate at 2.00%, in line with expectations.
"With inflation at 3.0% and the inflation target at 2.0%, we need to be vigilant," said bank governor Erik Thedeen after the announcement.
"That's why the board decided on an unchanged policy rate of 2.0%. There is some possibility of a rate cut during the remainder of the year."
