Sweden’s central bank, the Riksbank, has raised interest rates in response to the war’s implications, a move that is raising questions among analysts regarding the country’s inflation targets, according to reports by the Wall Street Journal and FXStreet. Meanwhile, the Bank of England has also taken action in an attempt to keep rising prices at bay, as noted by Forbes. Conversely, the governor of the Polish central bank stated that the institution very rarely changes interest rates in December. Further details regarding the implications of these decisions have not yet been released.
