About Sweden's policy rate

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 United Kingdom desk leads with Bank Rate, the Bank of England's policy rate, then SONIA, the sterling overnight market benchmark the Bank publishes but does not set. Euro-area, US, Canadian and Australian rates follow, with the rest of the build's series after them. All desks republish the same official series; this desk only reorders the menu and the wording, so the figures do not change when you switch desks.

Both UK series come from Bank of England statistical tables and are republished under the Bank's open-data terms, with attribution. Bank Rate is a policy setting that moves at MPC decisions; SONIA is a transaction-based market rate that moves daily. The build does not publish a UK retail mortgage or savings rate, because no such official series is ingested here — those pages are absent rather than estimated. This is not financial advice.
