STOCKHOLM, Feb 9 (Reuters) - The Swedish central bank's
rate path indicates further tightening of the monetary policy,
Central Bank Governor Erik Thedeen said on Thursday, after
raising the benchmark interest rate with 50 basis points to 3%.
"The rate path indicates a hike with either 25 or 50
percentage points in April," Thedeen told a news conference,
adding the Riksbank had low tolerance for high inflation.
