Sweden’s consumer price index (CPI) inched up 0.1% month-over-month in January 2026, according to data updated on 20 February 2026. The move marks a slight acceleration from the previous month’s flat reading of 0.0%, which was also recorded in January 2026 when compared with the prior month.
On a month-over-month basis, the latest figure indicates that prices have started to rise again after a period of stagnation. The “actual” January reading compares price changes in January to December, while the “previous” figure reflects the change in the prior month versus its preceding month. The shift from 0.0% to 0.1% suggests a modest uptick in price pressures at the start of the year, though the overall pace of inflation remains subdued.
