STOCKHOLM - The Swedish Central Bank's forecast of carrying out two or three further rate cuts this year still looks like a well balanced policy outlook, Riksbank Deputy Governor Per Jansson said on Wednesday.
"I think that when we made our decision, and communicated that, about 2-3 (cuts) more during the remainder of the year I considered that well balanced, and that's pretty much how I see it now too," Jansson told reporters on the sidelines of a conference.
The Riksbank cut its key rate to 3.50% from 3.75% on Aug. 20 and said it expected to ease policy two or three times before the end of the year, a slightly faster pace than previously forecast by the bank.
"Nothing huge has happened since then. We will have another inflation outcome ahead of our next meeting and that will be important, and we'll have to monitor what other central banks do," Jansson said.
