According to a preliminary estimate, Sweden's annual inflation rate held steady at 0.9% in October 2025. This rate slightly exceeded market expectations of 0.8%, yet it remained below the Riksbank's target of 2%. On a monthly basis, consumer prices rose by 0.3%, surpassing both the previous month's stagnant reading and the anticipated increase of 0.1%. Additionally, the Consumer Price Index with a fixed interest rate (CPIF)—the Riksbank's preferred metric—climbed by 3.1% compared to the previous year in October, maintaining the pace from September and outperforming forecasts of a 2.9% rise.
