Why central banks cannot always “look through” supply shocks21.10.2026 11:00:00 EEST | Blog
When inflation rises into the 5-6% range, firms may reprice more frequently just as households begin revising expectations more aggressively. These channels can reinforce one another, making early and credible policy action more valuable.

Centralbankskrediternas roll i styrningen av Eurosystemets räntor ökar när likviditeten minskar14.10.2026 11:02:29 EEST | Pressmeddelande
När affärsbankernas inlåning i centralbanken, dvs. centralbankslikviditeten, minskar, kommer styrningen av de korta penningmarknadsräntorna basera sig allt mer på en aktiv penningmarknad och Eurosystemets likviditetstillförande refinansieringstransaktioner. Beloppet av centralbanksinlåning minskar till följd av förfall av de värdepapper som Eurosystemet köpte under perioden med låg inflation och under coronapandemin.
Likviditeetin vähentyessä eurojärjestelmän luottojen rooli korkojen ohjauksessa kasvaa14.10.2026 11:02:29 EEST | Tiedote
Eurojärjestelmä ohjaa jatkossa lyhyitä rahamarkkinakorkoja aktiivisen rahamarkkinan ja keskuspankkiluottojen avulla, kun liikepankkien keskuspankkitalletusten määrä eli keskuspankkilikviditeetti vähenee. Talletusten määrä vähenee, kun eurojärjestelmän hitaan inflaation ja koronapandemian aikana ostamat arvopaperit erääntyvät.
Role of the Eurosystem’s refinancing operations in interest rate steering will grow as liquidity declines14.10.2026 11:02:29 EEST | Press release
As the volume of central bank liquidity declines, the Eurosystem will conduct its steering of short-term money market interest rates via an active money market and its refinancing operations. Central bank liquidity means central bank deposits held by commercial banks, i.e. central bank reserves. The amount of central bank reserves is declining as the debt securities purchased by the Eurosystem during the low inflation period and the COVID-19 pandemic mature.
