Sweden's central bank left its interest rate unchanged on Wednesday but the bank hinted at raising the rate later this year.
The Executive Board of Riksbank decided to hold the policy rate at 1.75 percent.
"… it is well-balanced to leave the policy rate unchanged at 1.75 percent now, but the probability that the rate will be raised later this year has increased in relation to the assessment in March," the bank said in a statement.
