Now Magdalena Andersson (S) and Muharrem Demirok (C) are holding a press conference.
Both criticize the government and the Sweden Democrats’ climate policy.
– Recently, we have received evidence that the development is unfortunately heading in the wrong direction, says Andersson, and refers to a report from the UN and the Climate Policy Council.
– We have the first government in 20 years that has a climate policy that leads to increased emissions, she continues.
Muharrem Demirok says that the Tidö parties have abolished climate policy.
– At the same time, SD’s criticism of the climate goals has increased day by day, he says.
– The government must immediately report to the Riksdag what the main elements of the government’s climate policy trade plan should be, he also says.
Storbanken’s new interest rate forecast
Swedbank is now coming up with a new interest rate forecast and calculates that the Riksbank will raise it by 50 basis points in April and by the same amount in June.
Which would mean that the variable mortgage interest rates after discounts are expected to rise to around 4.5 percent during the summer.
“But towards the end of the year and during 2024, when inflation has decreased and the Riksbank softens, we assess that interest rates with shorter maturities will fall, while long-term ones will stabilise,” says Swedbank’s head of forecasting Andreas Wallström in a press release.
