(Finance) – Contrary to the Fed yesterday and the Swiss Central Bank today, which decided to maintain the status quo of interest rates, the central institutions of Sweden and Norway have opted for an upward adjustment in the cost of money .
In both cases, the increase was 25 basis points.
The Riksbank, the Swedish central bank, has decided to raise the reference on the cost of money to 4%. In the statement released at the end of the directorate he warned that rates could increase further.
The central bank of Norway also raised the reference level to 4.25%. In this case the institution specifies that a further increase “is probable” and that it should be implemented in December.
The Bank of England’s decision is expected shortly.
