When the Swedish Central Bank is expected to lower the interest rate this week, some banks have already gone ahead and adjusted their rates downwards – "a new grip" according to savings economist Christina Sahlberg at Compricer.
BusinessThe housing prices in the country fell by 0.9 percent during October as a whole. The largest price drop was seen in villas in Greater Stockholm and in northern Sweden. It's a bit surprising, says Robert Boije, chief economist at SBAB.
