Sweden’s economy strengthened in June 2026, marking a recovery from the low-conjuncture period of 2025. Most indicators in the Konjunkturklocka (Economic Compass) showed expansion, with retail sales, production, consumption, and BNP above long-term trends. Caroline Ahlstrand of SCB noted retail sales were notably above trend. However, mixed signals remained, as household confidence, industrial orders, and employment figures stayed below trend. While the overall outlook improved, some sectors like new car registrations showed weakening. The report highlights a partial recovery, with continued caution in household sentiment despite gradual improvements.
