“Most of the other members of the Executive Board stuck to their scripts, with Ohlsson wanting a hike immediately, Floden pushing for an October hike, and af Jochnick and Jansson remaining very dovish.”
“Skingsley’s comments in the minutes imply that she’s more comfortable with a Dec hike than a Feb hike, but even her coming on board for a hike with the others unchanged would lead to a 3-3 tie, as Ingves casts the deciding vote under those circumstances.”
