STOCKHOLM, May 8 (Xinhua) -- Sweden's central bank on Wednesday announced a 25-basis point cut of its benchmark interest rate to 3.75 percent amid weak economic activity.

The bank's executive board said if the outlook for inflation still holds, the policy rate is expected to be cut two more times during the second half of the year.
