  • Strömmer: Good description that Sis is like a Linkedin

    Minister of Justice Gunnar Strömmer (M) answers questions about Sis homes being like a Linkedin for young people.

    – I think that is a pretty good description, says Gunnar Strömmer (M), i TV4 News morning.

  • The Governor of the Riksbank: The interest rate does not bite as we thought

    Interest rate increases have not taken hold as Riksbank Governor Erik Thedéen intended.

    – The effects have not been that great, says Erik Thedéen, in an interview with SvD.

    In just over a year, the Riksbank has raised its key interest rate from 0 to 3.5 percent. At the same time, the economy has grown during the first quarter of the year and inflation was over 10 percent in March.

    Housing prices also continue to rise.

    Households do not seem to believe the central bank’s message about the interest rate and this may force the Riksbank to raise more.

    But Erik Thedéen does not want to comment on the future more than he says:

    – Every time we have made a new interest rate forecast, we have later adjusted it up. In April, we adjusted it up once more. It is probably a sign that the monetary policy may not bite as we have thought, says Thedéen.

  • Danny Saucedo isn’t making his acting debut now is he? Wasn’t he in Evil?

    Ninna

    Entirely correct! He was an extra in the fight scene in Ondskan.

    However, he himself says that “Scenes from a Marriage” is his acting debut. Maybe he himself makes a difference between extras and acting?

    Regardless – well done Ninna!
