Sweden’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.5% year-over-year in February 2026, unchanged from the 0.5% annual increase recorded in January 2026. The February reading, updated on 5 March 2026, indicates that price growth has remained stable at a low level for a second consecutive month.
The data are based on a year-over-year comparison, meaning the February figure reflects the change in prices compared with February a year earlier, while the January figure was measured against January a year earlier. With both months posting identical 0.5% gains, the figures suggest that inflationary pressures in Sweden have neither accelerated nor eased further at the start of 2026.
The unchanged CPI rate may be closely watched by market participants and policymakers as they assess the trajectory of consumer prices and the broader economic environment, although no additional details on the drivers of inflation were provided with the latest update.
