Sweden’s CPIF (Consumer Price Index at constant interest rates) rose 0.6% month-over-month in February 2026, doubling the 0.3% increase recorded in January 2026. The latest data, updated on 05 March 2026, signals a visible acceleration in underlying price pressures at the start of the year.
On a month-over-month basis, the February reading compares the price level to January 2026, while the January figure reflects the change relative to December 2025. The shift from 0.3% to 0.6% suggests that inflation momentum, as measured by CPIF, strengthened notably between the first two months of 2026.
For policymakers and markets, the pick-up in CPIF will be closely watched, as it captures inflation adjusted for interest rate effects, providing a clearer gauge of underlying price dynamics in Sweden’s economy.
