Eneroth elected chair of Riksbank General Council
Tomas Eneroth (S) was elected Chairperson of the Riksbank's General Council at its inaugural meeting on October 23, 2026. Mattias Karlsson (M) was elected Vice Chairperson.
Two leadership posts filled
The Riksbank's General Council elected Tomas Eneroth (S) as Chairperson and Mattias Karlsson (M) as Vice Chairperson at its inaugural meeting on October 23, 2026.
The Riksbank reported both appointments in a notice published that day.
Eneroth takes the chair and Karlsson the vice chair of the same body; the notice identifies their party affiliations as S and M, respectively.
The General Council consists of eleven members and eleven deputies, all appointed by the Riksdag.
The announcement distinguishes the election of the Council's leadership at its inaugural meeting from the Riksdag's appointment of its members and deputies.
Minutes accompany the notice
The notice links to the minutes of the General Council meeting held on October 23, 2026, in a PDF listed as 151.3 kB.
It also directs readers to further information about the General Council.
The Riksbank lists its Press Office as the contact for inquiries, with telephone number +46 8-7870200. Both the publication date and the updated date are October 23, 2026.
The notice reports the leadership elections but gives no voting totals or information about dissent.
Leadership, not a rate decision
The announcement concerns the General Council's leadership rather than a monetary policy decision.
It identifies the two officeholders and explains who appoints Council members.
It contains no policy outlook or changes to interest rates.
