Sweden’s Producer Price Index (PPI) posted a strong month-over-month rebound at the start of 2026, signaling a notable shift in price dynamics at the factory gate. In January 2026, PPI rose by 2.4% compared with the previous month, according to data updated on 25 February 2026. This marks a clear turnaround from December 2025, when producer prices fell by 1.1% from November.
The January figure suggests that cost pressures are resurfacing in the production sector after the decline recorded at the end of last year. On a month-over-month basis, the “Actual” January increase is measured against December 2025, while the “Previous” December reading reflects the change versus November 2025, underscoring how quickly the pricing environment has shifted. Investors and policymakers will now watch closely to see whether January’s bounce proves temporary or the start of a more persistent upward trend in producer prices.
