Sweden’s gross national product (BNP) increased by 1.6% seasonally adjusted in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the previous quarter, according to Statistics Sweden (SCB). The growth was driven by rising fixed investments, exports, and household consumption, while inventory investments slightly dragged on growth. Compared to the same quarter in 2025, BNP grew by 3.3%. Household consumption rose 0.9%, public sector consumption increased 0.7%, and fixed investments surged 3.5%. Exports grew 1.0% while imports rose 0.1%. The public sector reported a 7.8 billion SEK surplus in Q2 2026. SCB attributes the expansion to strong demand across key sectors, with manufacturing and services contributing notably to growth.
