Sweden’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 1.1% year-over-year in September 2026, a notable acceleration from the 0.3% annual increase recorded previously. Both the current and prior readings are measured on a year-over-year basis, comparing each September figure to the same month a year earlier.
The pickup from 0.3% to 1.1% suggests that price pressures in the Swedish economy have strengthened over the latest period, even as inflation remains relatively mild by historical standards. The updated figures, released on 14 October 2026, will be closely watched by markets and policymakers assessing the trajectory of inflation and the implications for future monetary policy.
