Swedish household confidence growth cooled markedly in April 2026, with the indicator easing to 1.80% year-over-year, down from 3.40% in March 2026. The latest figures, updated on 10 June 2026, show that while sentiment among households is still improving compared to a year earlier, the pace of that improvement has almost halved in just one month.
The data are measured on a year-over-year basis, meaning April’s 1.80% reading reflects how household confidence compares with April of the previous year, whereas March’s 3.40% reading captured the change versus March a year earlier. The sharp slowdown suggests that Swedish households remain cautiously optimistic, but with growing signs of restraint as the momentum seen in early 2026 loses strength.
