Sweden’s producer price inflation slowed markedly in February 2026, signaling a sharp easing of cost pressures at the factory gate. The Producer Price Index (PPI) rose just 0.2% month-over-month, down from a 2.4% increase in January 2026, according to data updated on 25 March 2026.
The comparison is made on a month-over-month basis, with February’s “actual” figure reflecting the change from January 2026, while January’s “previous” figure measures the change from December 2025. The pronounced deceleration suggests that the surge in producer prices seen at the start of the year did not persist into February, potentially easing pressure on downstream consumer prices if the trend continues.
