Riksbank Minutes (Sep):
Minutes that show board members fretting about upside inflation risk around an otherwise on-track forecast are a familiar posture for the Riksbank at the tail of an easing cycle, where the debate shifts from the direction of the next move to whether the cycle is done at all.
Riksbank Minutes (Sep):
Polish CPI Prel (Sep YY) 4.0% vs. Exp. 4.1% (Prev. 3.4%)

Governor Thedeen:
- Once again, the economy appears to be surprisingly resilient.
- If underlying inflation this year and next develops roughly as in the forecast, conditions are favourable for CPIF inflation to stabilise at the 2 per cent target in the longer term. What I am worried about is the risk outlook around the forecast; the longer the high oil-related prices remain, the greater is the risk that it will give rise to a broader upturn in inflation.
Hjelm:
- I assess the initial situation for the real economy and the outlook going forward to be stronger and more robust than earlier this year.
- When it comes to the effects of these driving forces on inflation, they have so far been limited.
- I assess that the risks with regard to inflation are largely on the upside.
Seim:
- As regards the risk outlook, I continue to see a risk of inflation being higher than in our forecast.
The concern singled out here, energy-driven price levels bleeding into broader inflation, is the classic supply-shock dilemma that has historically kept small open-economy central banks on hold longer than headline prints alone would imply, since passing through a cost shock is easier than reversing it. The distinction that matters is between members flagging risk (Thedeen, Seim) and those reading the real economy as robust (Hjelm): that combination has typically characterised a board leaning hawkish in rhetoric while the policy rate stays put, repricing SEK and the short end of the Swedish curve on the tail rather than the centre. The tells from here are whether the risk language hardens into formal dissents or forecast adjustments at the next meeting, and whether the CPIF prints validate the worry. EUR/SEK has tended in past episodes of this kind to trade off the rate-differential narrative these minutes feed, with hawkish Riksbank risk-speak supportive of the krona at the margin against a still-cautious ECB.
