Shane Oliver of AMP Capital says the Swedish central bank’s decision to divest bonds issued by the Western Australian and Queensland government is unlikely to have much impact on Australian bond prices. Sveriges Riksbank deputy governor Martin Floden has cited Australia’s lack of sufficient action on climate change for the move.
