Swedish consumer confidence edged down at the start of 2026, signaling a marginal weakening in household sentiment. The consumer confidence index eased to 95.3 in January 2026 from 95.6 in December 2025, according to the latest data updated on 29 January 2026.
While the move represents only a minor decline, the index remains below the neutral 100 mark often viewed as the dividing line between optimism and pessimism. The slight drop suggests that Swedish households are becoming fractionally more cautious about the economic outlook as the new year begins, though overall sentiment has stayed relatively stable over the past two months.
