In April 2026 the Swedish producer price index (PPI) increased by 1.1 percent relative to March, the highest annual rate since February 2023. Export prices rose 2.5 percent, import prices 3.3 percent, while domestic market prices fell 0.1 percent. Compared with April 2025, the PPI grew 4.7 percent. The rise is largely attributed to higher oil prices, which lifted raw‑oil imports by 1.4 percentage points. Prices for refined petroleum, chemicals and other chemical products increased across all markets. Domestic declines were driven by lower electricity, transmission, distribution and heating costs, partially offset by gains in other sectors. The PPI excluding energy‑related goods increased 1.4 percent year‑on‑year.
