Riksbank's Ingves: Reasonable that SEK will slowly strengthen

The Swedish central bank - Riksbank Governor Stefan Ingves crossed the wires in the last hour and said that the central bank may change the number of meetings from 2020.

Key quotes:

   •  Think that 5 meetings a year about the right number to be able to conduct a well balanced monetary policy. 
   •  Reducing the number of meetings would free some resources.
   •  Repo rate path is forecast, not a promise.
   •  Should not focus too much on January inflation figures. 
   •  It is reasonable that SEK will slowly strengthen.
   •  Do not have a target for the exchange rate.
