FX.co ★ Sweden’s Industrial Output Growth Eases Slightly in May, Still Strong on Annual Basis

Sweden’s industrial production growth cooled marginally in May 2026 but remained robust on a year-over-year basis, according to the latest data updated on 8 July 2026. Output rose 6.9% in May compared with the same month a year earlier, down slightly from the 7.1% annual increase recorded in April 2026.

The figures are based on year-over-year comparisons, with the “actual” showing the change in May 2026 versus May 2025, and the “previous” reflecting April 2026 versus April 2025. While the data indicate a modest loss of momentum, they also confirm that Sweden’s industrial sector continues to expand at a solid pace heading into mid-2026.
