STOCKHOLM, Sept 3 (Reuters) - Sweden's central bank kept its key interest rate unchanged at a record low of 0.25 percent on Thursday as it sought to bolster an economy hit by its worst recession since World War Two.
All analysts in a Reuters poll on Aug. 11 said they expected the repo rate to stay at 0.25 percent throughout this year and most saw borrowing costs starting to rise again only in the second half of 2010. [ID:nLB355556]
