Sweden’s economy showed a notable rebound in August 2026, with month‑over‑month GDP rising by 1.1%, according to data updated on 9 October 2026. This marks a sharp turnaround from July 2026, when GDP fell by 0.8% compared with the previous month.
On a month‑over‑month basis, the latest reading indicates that economic activity in August not only recovered the ground lost in July but moved decisively back into positive territory. The comparison framework shows that while July reflected a contraction versus June, August’s performance represents a clear upswing relative to July.
The figures, measured on a month‑over‑month basis, suggest growing momentum in Sweden’s economic output as of late summer 2026, with the August expansion offsetting the prior month’s decline and signaling a short‑term stabilization in GDP dynamics.
