Riksbank to join tightening crowd later this year

We expect policymakers in Denmark and Switzerland to match the 50bps of interest rate hikes that we now forecast in the euro-zone next year. And against the backdrop of rising global interest rates, we now think that the Riksbank will start a tightening cycle of its own later this year – about two years sooner than it currently projects and ahead of the economic consensus. Drop-In: Neil Shearing will host an online panel of our senior economists to answer your questions and update on macro and markets this Thursday, 13th January (11:00 ET/16:00 GMT).
