Gothenburg hosts key policy decision
The Riksbank's Executive Board will convene for its monetary policy meeting in Gothenburg on September 23. This meeting is where decisions on interest rates and other monetary policy instruments are made to ensure price stability.
The Executive Board's decision will be published on September 24 at 9:30 am.
A press conference will follow at 10:30 am on the same day, held at the West Sweden Chamber of Commerce on Parkgatan 49 in Gothenburg.
This conference allows the Riksbank's leadership to explain their decision and economic assessment.
The event will be broadcast live on the Riksbank's website and YouTube, with journalists able to ask questions via Teams, ensuring transparency for the public and financial markets.
A tradition of regional engagement
Since 2023, the Riksbank has made it a practice to hold one of its eight annual monetary policy meetings outside its Stockholm headquarters.
This initiative aims to foster direct engagement with regional economic conditions and gather diverse perspectives from across Sweden.
By rotating the meeting location, the central bank seeks to gain a deeper understanding of local business environments, labor markets, and consumer sentiment.
This approach enriches its overall economic assessment.
Previous meetings under this program include Jönköping (2023), Falun (2024), and Malmö (2025).
This underscores the Riksbank's commitment to transparency and connecting with a broader range of national stakeholders.
