Sustainability for economic development and stability

The Riksbank contributes to favourable long-term economic development by promoting low and stable inflation as well as a stable and efficient financial system, including the ability of the general public to make payments. A sustainable society is also a precondition for stability and favourable long-term economic development. Climate change has implications for the economy through increased costs, uncertainty, financial risks and structural changes. Unsustainable development thus affects the Riksbank’s tasks. The Riksbank therefore works systematically for sustainable development by identifying, analysing and managing climate-related risks, contributing to increasing knowledge of the effects of climate change on the economy and by taking sustainability into account in its asset management and internal work.
