STOCKHOLM, May 9 (Reuters) - Inflation should fall back
this year and the pace of rate hikes can slow, but uncertainty
is high and policy could change depending on incoming data, the
minutes of the central bank's most recent policy meeting showed
on Tuesday.
The Riksbank raised the policy rate to 3.50% from 3.0% at
the meeting.
"If the information about Swedish inflation and economic
developments points towards increased or prolonged inflationary
pressures, I will advocate a higher policy rate than is
indicated in our interest rate path," Central Bank Governor Erik
Thedeen said in the minutes.
