STOCKHOLM: The Swedish central bank emphasised its willingness to ease record-low monetary policy even further if needed in the minutes of its latest policy meeting, published on Tuesday.
"There is still a high level of preparedness to make monetary policy even more expansionary if this is needed to safeguard the inflation target," the Riksbank said in a statement summarising the minutes.
The central bank left its benchmark repo rate unchanged at minus 0.50 percent this month, but delayed the timing of future rate hikes as a result of increased economic uncertainty following Britain's vote to leave the European Union.
