Sweden’s economy showed a sharper downturn in July 2026, with gross domestic product (GDP) declining by 0.8% month-over-month, according to data updated on 10 September 2026. This marks a clear deterioration from June 2026, when GDP fell by 0.2% compared with the previous month.
The latest reading means that, on a month-over-month basis, the contraction in July significantly exceeded that of June, underlining growing pressure on Sweden’s economic momentum. The comparison is based on changes in GDP from one month to the next, with the current figure measuring July’s performance against June, and the previous figure reflecting June’s change relative to May.
