FX.co ★ Swedish Household Lending Growth Ticks Up to 3.1% in May

Household lending growth in Sweden edged higher in May 2026, with the year-over-year rate rising to 3.1%, up from 3.0% in April 2026. The data, updated on 26 June 2026, indicate a modest acceleration in credit growth to households.

Both figures represent annual comparisons: April’s 3.0% reading reflects the change versus April a year earlier, while May’s 3.1% measures the increase against May of the previous year. The slight uptick suggests that Swedish households continued to expand their borrowing at a measured pace as of late spring 2026.
