Swedish Services PMI Stays at 3-Month High
The services PMI in Sweden stood at 68.2 in May of 2022, unchanged from an upwardly revised figure in the previous month while staying at its highest reading in three months. The sub-index for employment rose further (66.1 vs 62.1), while other sub-indices softened, including business volume (63.4 vs 65.0), new orders (61.8 vs 62.4), and delivery times (87.6 vs 88.1). " Cost increases and rising delivery times have not prevented the service sector from expanding, although the downside risks have increased now that households' consumption space is limited due to high inflation while the real estate market faces increased challenges due to higher future interest rates,' said Jörgen Kennemar, who is responsible for PMI analysis at Swedbank.

Swedish Services Growth at 3-Month High
The services PMI in Sweden increased to 68.1 in April of 2022 from a downwardly revised 62.9 in March, pointing to the strongest growth in the sector since January, as all sub-indices increased. The largest increase came from business volume (64.9 vs 56.7), followed by employment (61.1 vs 54.7), new orders (62.7 vs 58.9), and delivery times (88.0 vs 85.5). The delivery times reached the second highest index level in the index's history, indicating a high demand pressure, amid supply disruptions and an increase in shortage of labor. Meanwhile, the index for suppliers' input goods prices remained at historically high levels (90.2 vs 91.1 in March). " Rapid cost increases and supply disruptions have so far not prevented the service sector from expanding while business plans remain expansionary and suggest a positive view of the growth prospects even though the downside risks have increased," said Jörgen Kennemar, who is responsible for PMI analysis at Swedbank.

Sweden Services PMI Edges Lower to 68 in February
The services PMI in Sweden decreased to 68 in February of 2022 from 68.6 in January, but still pointed to a robust growth in the services sector. New orders eased the most among sub-indices (66.6 vs 68.4), followed by delivery times (80.6 vs 81.6) and business volume (65.4 vs 65.6) while employment rose to the highest level since 2018 (61 vs 59.6). Also, the index for suppliers' input goods prices declined slightly in February but remains at high levels (85.7 vs 85.2). "The risk of continued high input prices has increased with the war in Ukraine and the introduction of sanctions, which can also lead to renewed supply disruptions and increased production costs", says Jörgen Kennemar, responsible for the analysis of the purchasing managers' index.
