Sweden’s Left Party wants the Riksbank to broaden its target to include employment when it sets
interest rates.
The party, which supports the opposition Social Democrats leading in most polls ahead of September elections, also advocated for looser budget rules to cut joblessness in the largest Nordic economy.
The jobs objective should complement the bank’s 2 percent inflation target, Jonas Sjoestedt, leader of the Left Party, told reporters today in Stockholm. The party will also move to scrap the 1 percent budget surplus target and aim for balanced budget rules, he said.
