Sweden’s consumer price index (CPI) slipped into negative territory in July 2026, signaling a sharp reversal in short‑term price dynamics. Month-over-month, CPI fell by 0.3% in July, compared with a 0.4% increase recorded in June 2026.
The latest data, updated on 06 August 2026, show that the pace of price changes has not only slowed but turned outright negative on a monthly basis. The previous reading reflected rising prices in June versus May, while the July figure indicates that prices in July declined compared with June. This marks a notable shift in Sweden’s month-to-month inflation trend and will likely draw close attention from policymakers and market participants assessing the trajectory of inflationary pressures in the country.
