Sweden’s CPIF (consumer price index with a fixed interest rate) remained unchanged at 1.5% year-over-year in May 2026, matching the previous reading of 1.5% and reinforcing a picture of stable inflation dynamics. The latest figures, updated on 11 June 2026, show that price growth compared with May a year earlier has neither accelerated nor cooled further since the prior measure.
The CPIF is a key benchmark for Sweden’s inflation environment because it strips out the direct effect of interest-rate changes, offering a clearer view of underlying price trends. With the May 2026 reading identical to the previous year-on-year comparison, the data suggest that consumer prices are moving along a steady trajectory rather than breaking into new inflationary or disinflationary territory.
For policymakers and markets, the flat 1.5% rate provides continuity: the “actual” May reading versus the same month a year ago aligns with the “previous” comparison, which also measured the change against the same month a year earlier. This stability may help anchor expectations around Sweden’s near-term inflation outlook and the broader economic environment.
