In recent years, monetary policy has changed substantially, as a result of crises and structural changes. This has resulted in the Riksbank using its balance sheet more actively as a monetary policy tool. This development accelerated in 2020, when the Riksbank implemented a number of measures to combat the negative consequences of the coronavirus pandemic for the economy. These measures include purchases of government bonds and treasury bills, municipal bonds, covered bonds and bonds and commercial paper issued by non-financial corporations, as well as various loan programmes.
