updates: The Riksbank is facing a tough decision on whether to raise borrowing costs to support the krona or hold steady to avoid further damage to the economy. Economists are split on the outcome, with a majority predicting a quarter-point increase in the interest rate. The Riksbank is grappling with high inflation and an economy that is expected to shrink this year. While recent strengthening of the krona has provided some relief, concerns remain that the currency could complicate efforts to fight inflation. The krona has rallied about 3% against the euro in November, its biggest monthly gain in over a decade. The Riksbank faces pressure to take a more cautious approach, with business and labor organizations warning that further rate hikes will harm the economy. Despite this, some analysts believe that a rate hike would not significantly strengthen the krona. The decision is expected to be split among policymakers, with some advocating for a slower pace of rate increases to avoid unnecessary harm to the economy.
