Sweden's central bank raised its key policy rate by a quarter percentage point to 4.00%, as expected, on Thursday and said it might need to do more to bring inflation back to its 2% target.
The Riksbank has now increased the policy rate at eight consecutive meetings to fight a surge in inflation that peaked at more than 10% in December last year.
Headline inflation stood at 4.7% in August, still well above the 2% target.
