"As the world's original central bank, it's fitting that Sweden's
Riksbank has become the first to breach the zero-bound line by lowering one of its key interest rates to negative 0.25% since July 8."
"In the clearest signal yet that we are still in a potentially devastating global deflationary spiral, The
Riksbank
, Sweden’s central bank and the world’s oldest central bank, has effectively cut interest rates to minus 0.25% and has started a program of quantitative easing a.k.a printing money. These are the most dramatic moves yet by a major central bank and will be watched the world over for signs of success or failure. Let me explain what the Swedes are doing and why."
Это одна из "key interest rates" ЦБ Швеции. в данном случае да, ставка по депозитам ЦБ. Факт в том что прецедент отрицательных ставок создан. Скоро возможно увидим и остальные ключевые ставки в отрицательной области, и не только в Швеции. Маразм крепчает, количественное смягчение продолжается.
