Why is it called a Nobel prize?
Sveriges Riksbank, Sweden’s central bank, established the prize in 1968. The Nobel Prize Museum says it was based on a donation to the Nobel Foundation on the occasion of the bank’s 300th anniversary. The prize is thus distinct in origin from the five original Nobel categories established by Alfred Nobel’s will; the available institutional account establishes its Riksbank origin, not a full comparison of the prizes’ governance. The Nobel Prize Museum’s history of the economics prize provides that background.
What is known about the 2026 award amount?
The Associated Press reported an award amount of 12 million Swedish kronor for 2026. That is the reported figure in Swedish currency; no approximate conversion is included because the exchange rate changes over time. Check the Academy’s announcement for the confirmed amount once available.

What else was scheduled in Stockholm that day?
The Nobel Prize Museum’s 2026 programme listed a public discussion about the new prize at Sveriges Riksbank as part of Nobel Calling Stockholm. That event was related public programming, separate from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences’ prize announcement. The museum’s Nobel Calling Stockholm programme lists the event.
