RIKSBANK: MNI's Policy Team write:

-The Riksbank board are likely to be divided again at next month's Monetary

Policy Meeting, with the looming general election casting a shadow over the

central bank's decision making.

-The six-member Executive Board is likely to vote for unchanged policy at the

September meeting, with views expressed at the July meeting suggesting a

five-one or four-two vote to stand pat.

-The data since July have not been robust enough to make any change of heart

among the more dovish members likely.
