Penningpolitiken stöder en hållbar ekonomisk återhämtning och förbättrade inflationsutsikter16.9.2021 11:00:00 EEST | Tiedote
Den globala ekonomin återhämtar sig från pandemin understödd av en stigande vaccinationstäckning och den ekonomiska politiken. Den branta nedgången övergår i år i en uppgång på 6 %. ”Den ekonomiska tillväxten i euroområdet är nu kraftig, men stöd från den ekonomiska politiken behövs fortfarande. Produktionsflaskhalsar i förening med eventuella nya virusvarianter och en låg vaccinationstäckning i de framväxande länderna kastar en skugga över utsikterna”, säger chefdirektör Olli Rehn. Kraftiga penningpolitiska och offentliga åtgärder har minskat de ekonomiska skadorna på längre sikt. Penningpolitiken har bidragit till fortsatt lätta finansieringsvillkor samtidigt som centralbankernas balansräkningar har vuxit. De lätta finansieringsvillkoren i förening med offentliga stödåtgärder har underlättat tillgången till kredit för företag och hushåll. Ökningen i den offentliga skuldsättningen är därför kraftigare än vid kriser. Inflationen saktade in i början av coronakrisen. Den stigande inflati
Monetary policy supporting sustainable economic recovery and a brighter outlook for inflation16.9.2021 11:00:00 EEST | Press release
The global economy will recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, bolstered by increasing vaccination coverage and support from economic policy. The steep contraction will give way to growth of 6% this year. ‘Euro area growth is robust, but it still needs support from economic policy. The outlook is overshadowed by production bottlenecks, the possibility of new virus variants as well as low vaccination rate in the developing world,’ notes Bank of Finland Governor Olli Rehn. Strong monetary and fiscal policy measures have reduced the longer-term economic scars in many countries. Monetary policy has helped maintain favourable financing conditions, while central bank balance sheets have expanded. Favourable financing conditions and public support measures have facilitated business and household access to credit. Growth in general government debt will thus be more marked than during crises on average. Inflation was subdued during the early phase of the COVID crisis. In the present year, euro are
Rahapolitiikka tukee talouden kestävää elpymistä ja inflaationäkymien paranemista16.9.2021 11:00:00 EEST | Tiedote
Maailmantalous elpyy koronapandemiasta rokotekattavuuden nousun ja talouspolitiikan tukemana. Jyrkkä supistuminen vaihtuu 6 prosentin kasvuksi tänä vuonna. "Euroalueella talouskasvu on nyt vahvaa, mutta vielä ei pärjätä ilman talouspolitiikan tukea. Näkymiä varjostavat tuotantokapeikot sekä uusien virusmuunnosten mahdollisuus ja kehittyvien maiden alhainen rokotekattavuus", sanoo pääjohtaja Olli Rehn. Voimakkaat rahapoliittiset ja julkisen talouden toimet ovat vähentäneet pidemmän aikavälin vaurioita kansantalouksille. Rahapolitiikan avulla rahoitusolot on pidetty kevyinä, ja samalla keskuspankkien taseet ovat kasvaneet. Kevyet rahoitusolot sekä julkiset tukitoimet ovat tukeneet yritysten ja kotitalouksien luotonsaantia. Julkinen velka eri maissa kasvaakin enemmän kuin kriiseissä keskimäärin. Inflaatio vaimeni koronakriisin alkuvaiheessa. Tänä vuonna euroalueen inflaatiota on voimistanut alhainen hintataso vertailuajankohtana, raaka-aineiden hintojen nousu sekä tuotantokapeikot. Näiden
BOFIT Forecasts for Russia and China 2021–202316.9.2021 11:00:00 EEST | Uutinen
The Bank of Finland Institute for Emerging Economies (BOFIT) released today (16 September) its semi-annual forecasts for the Russian and Chinese economies. The autumn 2021 forecasts cover the period 2021–2023. The forecast for the Russian economy has been revised upward on improved prospects for global economic growth and Russian exports. Oil prices and the expectations are also higher than in March. GDP should rise more than 3.5 % this year from last year’s low basis, before settling in 2022−2023 to slightly over 2.5 % p.a. on average. Several uncertainties surround the forecast. There could be unexpected changes in the course of the covid pandemic, global growth and oil prices. The return of international travel and the release of assets piled up by households last year can also significantly affect private consumption. Improved government revenues create opportunities for more generous budget spending. Chinese on-yearGDP growth rises to about 8 % this year due to rapid recovery and
