The Riksbank's role and tasks
Riksbank, Sweden's central bank and an authority under the Riksdag. Riksbank work
is about to issue banknotes and coins and to ensure that they retain their value
over time. It called for monetary policy and the objective is to keep inflation,
the general price rise, low and stable. The Bank is also mandated to ensure payments
in the economy can be done safely and effectively.
A fixed value - price stability
The Sveriges Riksbank Act, the Riksbank maintain price stability, which implies
that inflation is low and stable. The Riksbank has specified a target for inflation,
saying that the annual change in the consumer price index (CPI) 2 per cent . Riksbank's
monetary policy geared to meet this inflation while it will support the objectives
of general economic policy aiming to achieve sustainable growth and high employment
. To influence inflation and economic development Riksbank decides the level of
its benchmark interest rate, the repo rate. The repo rate is the rate that applies
to banks that borrow or put money in the Riksbank. The repo rate influences other
interest rates in the economy and thus ultimately economic activity and inflation.
A safe and efficient payment system - financial stability
The Riksbank has been mandated by parliament to promote a safe and efficient payment
system. This means that the Riksbank shall promote stability in the financial system
as whole. The assignment also to issue banknotes and coins. The Riksbank provides
Moreover, an electronic payment system, RIX, which handles large payments between
banks and other players in a safe and efficient manner. Riksbank analyzes and continually
monitors the stability of the financial system for the early detection changes and
vulnerabilities that could lead to disruption. The analysis focuses primarily on
the major Swedish banking groups, functioning of financial markets and financial
infrastructure needed for the payments and the Swedish financial markets function
. In a crisis, the Riksbank may under certain circumstances provide temporary liquidity
support for banks .
Riksbank's independent status
The Riksbank is an authority under the Riksdag . Riksdag appoints the members of
the General Council. The General Council in turn appoints the members of the Executive
Board. delegates will also supervise and scrutinize the work. Parliament has given
the Riksbank an independent status. This means that the Executive Board take the
monetary policy decisions without instruction from anyone else. By delegating the
task of keeping inflation low and stable to the Riksbank, the Riksdag has monetary
policy a long term perspective and created favorable conditions for the inflation
target to be perceived as credible .
Financial stability good in the current situation - but the risks of dealing
The Swedish financial system is currently assessed as stable. But the Swedish banking
sector size and concentration, as well as banks' extensive market financing, creates
vulnerabilities that could affect financial stability negatively. The high and growing
indebtedness among Swedish households also means risks to the stability both in
the financial system and the real economy . The Riksbank therefore shares the Financial
Supervisory assessment that it is necessary to increase the risk weight floor for
Swedish mortgages from today level of 15 percent to 25 percent. The Riksbank also
continues to recommend major banks to ensure they have enough capital and liquidity
and to improve its public capital and liquidity reporting.
Riksbank's efforts to prevent financial crises
Under normal conditions, the Riksbank is working to prevent a financial crisis occurs
. We do this by continually analyzing risks and threats in the Swedish financial
system. The aim is to detect changes and vulnerabilities that would could lead to
a serious financial crisis . A crisis in the financial system is serious and can
lead to the economy shrinks, companies going bankrupt and people become unemployed.
The economic costs could be significant. It is therefore important to work to prevent
financial crises. Riksbank prevent financial crises by : • continuously collect
information about the financial system • operating analyze the stability of the
financial system • communicate about risks and where appropriate, make recommendations
on measures that should be implemented to manage these risks • cooperate with other
authorities in Sweden and internationally • influence presentation of financial
regulations so that they contribute to the stability and efficiency • monitor and
evaluate the financial infrastructure.
