"We have a meeting with the Swedish Central Bank's General Council both tomorrow and next Friday. It is highly likely that it will be discussed at one of these meetings," Bo Broman (SD), chairman of the Swedish Central Bank's General Council, writes in an email to TT.

"When a decision has been made regarding the appointment, it will be communicated in the usual manner via press release," he adds.

The Swedish Central Bank's Executive Board is responsible for operations and is the one that decides on the policy rate.

Since former First Deputy Governor Anna Breman left the Executive Board to become Governor of the Central Bank of New Zealand, there are only four members left on the Swedish Central Bank's Executive Board. There should be five.
