In the spring of this year, the Committee appointed professors Charles Goodhart and Jean-Charles Rochet to carry out the second external independent evaluation, which is to be completed by the autumn of 2011. This time, the evaluators are to review Swedish monetary policy in 2005–2010 and in particular to analyse the lessons to be learned from the financial crisis. The evaluation will not only cover monetary policy but also the Riksbank’s work with financial stability and the results of this work, with emphasis on the analysis done and measures taken before and during the financial crisis. Among other things, the terms of reference of the evaluation also stipulate the need to examine whether the remit of promoting a safe and effective payment system in the Riksbank Act is formulated in such a way as to ensure that the Riksbank can effectively work for financial stability. Furthermore, the evaluators are to investigate whether the Riksbank has the instruments and competencies required to maintain financial stability. Final words To end where I started: I foresee that current trends on staffing will continue. The portion of the Riksbank staff outside the core activities will be further reduced, but the competence level will increase yet higher. Governance issues will be high on our agenda, not least trying to find suitable solutions for monetary policy, financial stability and the interdependence between them.
