More details on the government bond sales and Riksbank certificates

RIKSBANK
  • In terms of government bonds sales:
    • From April: SEK3bln of nominal government bonds per month
    • SEK500mln of index-linked government bonds per month
    • Sales "shall mainly concern government bonds that mature in 2027 or later"
    • No sales in July or August (summer period).
  • "Until further notice, the Riksbank should apply the principle of offering an issue volume of Riksbank Certificates equal to the banking system’s entire liquidity surplus in relation to the Riksbank. This will balance the system close to zero on a daily basis. The new principle strengthens the incentive to balance liquidity among the banks on the overnight market. The average interest on monetary policy liabilities and the interest rate on the overnight market in SEK are expected to rise and come closer to the policy rate. On the margin, this will contribute to tighter monetary policy. "
