Riksbank maintains its Rate at 4.00% as expected; "It is likely that the policy rate can be cut in May or June if inflation prospects remain favourable."

COMMENTARY 

• Monetary policy needs to be adjusted cautiously
• there are risks that could cause inflationary pressures to rise again.
• Monetary policy should therefore be adjusted cautiously going forward, in the form of gradual cuts in the policy rate.
