“Styringsrente,” or “policy interest rate,” refers to the interest rate set by a central bank that serves as the main tool for influencing monetary policy and regulating economic activities in a country. It is the rate at which commercial banks can borrow funds from the central bank, and it affects the interest rates that banks offer to their customers for loans and savings. By adjusting the styringsrente, central banks can manage inflation, control economic growth, and stabilize the currency. A higher styringsrente typically discourages borrowing and spending, potentially slowing down the economy, while a lower rate encourages borrowing and can stimulate economic activity. This rate is a critical indicator of the monetary policy stance of a country and is closely watched by investors and economists.
