Sweden’s central bank will probably raise borrowing costs by 25 basis points in the final quarter of this year, earlier than previously seen, according to a Bloomberg survey.

Economists polled from May 11 to 13 see a quarter-point hike by the Riksbank to 2% before year-end, a move that they last month had expected to be delivered in the first quarter.
