The General Council of the Riksbank has decided how the central bank’s 2025 profit will be allocated under the Sveriges Riksbank Act. The total profit of SEK 5,297 million will be transferred as SEK 973 million to the Riksbank’s reserve fund and SEK 4,324 million to retained earnings. No profit distribution will be made to the state for 2025 because the profit is not sufficient for the Riksbank’s equity to reach the statutory target level. After the allocation, equity is calculated to increase to SEK 28,342 million, compared with a target level of SEK 63,300 million. The decision is submitted to the Swedish Parliament for approval, which may refuse only if the decision conflicts with the Sveriges Riksbank Act. The Swedish National Audit Office has checked that the profit-allocation calculation follows the Act’s requirements.
