The Swedish Riksbank cut the policy rate by 25 bps to 2.25% during its January 2025 meeting, in line with market expectations, citing inflation near the 2% target but continued economic weakness. This marks the fifth consecutive rate cut and the sixth since May, totaling a 175 bps reduction. Previous rate cuts have benefited households and businesses, though their full impact on demand is yet to be seen. The Board’s December assessment anticipated one more cut in the first half of 2025, and that forecast largely holds. However, the Riksbank remains prepared to adjust policy if economic conditions change.
