Stefan Ingves: Inflation targeting for nearly 30 years - a robust framework for all times?

Speech by Mr Stefan Ingves, Governor of the Sveriges Riksbank, at the Swedish Economic Association, Stockholm, 31 May 2022. 

The views expressed in this speech are those of the speaker and not the view of the BIS.

I would like to begin by thanking you for the opportunity once again to come here and address the Swedish Economic Association. It is always a great pleasure to have this opportunity. When I was here last year I talked about how the Riksbank's three main areas – monetary policy, financial stability and payments – are interrelated. This year I intend to focus on monetary policy and the Swedish inflation-targeting policy, which will soon be 30 years old, but I will also address some aspects of financial stability and payments that are linked to monetary policy.

"The sky is the limit."
