FX.co ★ Sweden’s GDP Flatlines in February After January Contraction, Easing Fears of Deeper Slowdown

Sweden’s economy showed signs of stabilisation in February 2026, with month-over-month GDP growth coming in at 0.0%, according to data updated on 10 April 2026. The flat reading follows a contraction of -1.1% in January 2026, suggesting that the sharp downturn at the start of the year did not extend further into February.

The latest figures, measured on a month-over-month basis, indicate that while the economy has not yet returned to growth, it has at least halted the decline seen in January, when GDP fell compared with December. In February, GDP neither expanded nor contracted compared with January, marking a pause in the negative momentum.

Analysts will now be watching subsequent months closely to determine whether February represents a turning point towards renewed growth or merely a temporary stabilisation after a weak start to the year.
