The Swedish economy grew 0.6 percent on quarter in the three months to March 2019, slowing from a 1.2 percent expansion in the previous period but beating market expectations of a 0.2 percent gain. Government spending grew much less (0.1 percent vs 0.4 percent in Q4) while both household consumption (-0.2 percent vs 0.6 percent) and fixed investment (-0.4 percent vs 1.1 percent) decreased. Changes in inventories provided no significant contribution to GDP growth in the first quarter.

Year-on-year, the GDP advanced 2.1 percent compared with a 2.4 percent growth in Q4 and market consensus of 1.7 percent.
