About Sweden's policy rate

Sveriges Riksbank policy rate (styrräntan), from the BIS policy-rate data set (WS_CBPOL, SE). Current: 1.75% on Sep 17, 2026. Since 1994 this is the repo rate; earlier stretches splice the marginal rate and the discount rate.

The chart is a step at policy changes. From Jan 2, 1946 to Sep 17, 2026 (29,479 observations): mean 4.80%, median 4.10%; low -0.50% (Feb 17, 2016), high 500.00% (Sep 17, 1992). Not a mortgage or deposit rate. This page is not an official BIS publication.

Reading this series

Sweden's policy rate, styrräntan, is set by Sveriges Riksbank and is the rate the Riksbank uses to steer monetary policy. This page uses the BIS central bank policy rate series for Sweden (WS_CBPOL), compiled with the Riksbank. Since 1994 the series is the repo rate; earlier stretches splice the marginal rate and the discount rate, which were the policy instruments of their day. The rate changes only at Riksbank decisions, so it is drawn as a daily step series.

Read the headline with its as-of date, then the "versus the previous reading" line; when the rate has been held, the page shows the date of the last actual move. Mean, median, low and high are arithmetic summaries of the observations in this build, not official aggregates. Chart and Table show the same series two ways, the range buttons filter the drawn window only, and Explore loads zoom and pan on request. The policy rate is not a mortgage or deposit rate, and this page is not an official BIS publication.

About this desk

The Canada desk leads with the Bank of Canada's target for the overnight rate, then CORRA, the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average. US, UK and other official rates follow in the menu. The target is a policy setting the Bank changes at fixed announcement dates; CORRA is a market benchmark calculated from repo transactions and published, not set, by the Bank. Keeping both on one desk shows the policy rate and the market rate it steers.

All series are read from official files and republished without alteration. As on the US desk, Canadian dates are written month-first. The build covers two Canadian series only; it does not publish a Canadian mortgage or deposit rate because none is ingested. Every desk shows the same set in a different order, so the numbers are identical whichever desk you use. Nothing here is financial advice.
