Riksbank: Risk of a more serious inflation situation has increased

Deputy Governor of the Swedish Central Bank, Per Jansson, says inflation risks have increased and the Swedish Central Bank needs to be vigilant.

"The risk of a more serious inflation scenario has increased this spring. In a bad scenario, the more favorable inflation situation we currently have could quickly become history and monetary policy may need to be tightened," he says in a speech at DNB Carnegie in Stockholm.

Jansson says that all monetary policymakers are grappling with the question of how extensive the effects of the supply disruptions in the wake of the war in the Middle East will be.

"I still haven't given up hope that the effects may be relatively limited, especially here in Sweden."
