Riksbank's Jansson says January inflation confirmed the picture of downside risks to inflation
Newsquawk Staff ·
- Figures for GDP and consumption have been a little weaker recently.
What it means
Riksbank's Jansson highlighting downside risks to inflation suggests a potentially more dovish stance from the central bank. Recent weakness in GDP and consumption supports the notion that inflationary pressures might be easing, which could influence future monetary policy decisions and impact the SEK and fixed income markets.
