sveriges-riksbank

The Riksbank will charge banks 0.25% interest for holding their reserves at the central bank after cutting its deposit rate to  -0.25% from Wednesday.

The central bank cut its benchmark repo rate to 0.25% last Thursday, 1 July. It maintained the 50 basis-point difference between the key rate and the lending rate, which was lowered to 0.75%, and the key rate and the deposit rate, which fell to -0.25%. All decisions will come into force on Wednesday.
