Sweden’s CPIF (CPI at constant interest rates) rose 0.6% month-on-month in February 2026, doubling the 0.3% increase recorded in the previous month. The latest data, updated on 12 March 2026, underscore an acceleration in price growth on a short-term basis.
On a month-over-month basis, the current 0.6% change compares with a 0.3% rise previously, meaning February’s price momentum was notably stronger than that seen in the preceding month. Both the current and previous readings are measured relative to their immediately prior months, in line with the stated comparison methodology.
The move higher in CPIF suggests that underlying inflation pressures—excluding the impact of interest rate changes—have strengthened into February, a development that will likely be closely watched by market participants and policymakers assessing Sweden’s near-term inflation trajectory.
