Consumer prices in Sweden rose by 0.9% year-on-year in October 2026, confirming initial estimates and slowing from a 1.1% gain in September, which was the fastest increase since February 2025. The slowdown was mainly driven by the ongoing deflation in food and non-alcoholic beverages (-7% vs -6.6% in September), furnishings, household equipment and maintenance (-1.6% vs -0.5%), health (-6.3% vs -5.9%), and education services (at -15.6%). Conversely, housing and utilities (5.1% vs 4.8%) and transport prices (4.3% vs 3.4%) accelerated, driven by a 25% surge in fuel costs, including increases of 38% in diesel and 16% in gasoline. Electricity prices also climbed 14%, while rents rose 3.3%. On a monthly basis, consumer prices were unchanged, after rising 0.9% in September. Meanwhile, the CPIF, which excludes the effect of changes in mortgage interest rates, rose by 1.1% year-on-year, slowing from a four-month high of 1.5% gain in the previous month, while its monthly reading remained flat. source: Statistics Sweden

Sweden’s annual inflation rate rose to 1.1% in September 2026, slightly below the initial estimate of 1.2% but sharply up from 0.3% in August, marking its highest level since February 2025.
