Sweden’s consumer price inflation accelerated in February 2026, with the month‑over‑month Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 0.6%, up from a 0.1% increase previously. The data, updated on 12 March 2026, indicate a firmer pace of price growth compared with the prior month’s subdued reading.
On a month‑over‑month basis, the latest “Actual” figure compares the change in prices in February against January, while the “Previous” figure reflects the change recorded in the earlier period relative to the month before it. The move from 0.1% to 0.6% suggests that price pressures strengthened notably at the start of the year, a development that investors and policymakers will be watching closely for signs of shifting inflation dynamics in Sweden.
