Sweden’s consumer confidence weakened slightly in February, with the Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI) slipping to 55.89 from 56.87 in January 2026. The latest reading, updated on 12 February 2026, points to a modest month-over-month cooling in sentiment after the stronger level recorded at the start of the year.
The February outcome reflects a month-over-month comparison, measuring how the index changed from January to February, while January’s figure of 56.87 itself represented a comparison with December’s level. Although still above the neutral 50 mark—indicating generally positive sentiment—the marginal decline suggests Swedish consumers may be turning slightly more cautious as 2026 unfolds.
