Sweden’s government should appoint a parliamentary panel to review the central bank’s mandate, according to a preliminary draft recommendation.

The parliament’s Finance Committee also urged the government to present a proposal to the legislature based on a 2013 review led by professor Harry Flam that recommends limiting foreign currency reserves, according to a draft obtained by Bloomberg. The report will be finalized and agreed on at a meeting on Thursday and published the following day.
