FX.co ★ Sweden's PPI Hits Record Low at -2.7% in December YoY

The Producer Price Index (PPI) in Sweden continues to reflect the country's ongoing economic challenges, hitting a record low of -2.7% in December year-over-year (YoY). This latest data, updated on January 27, 2026, reveals a further decline from November's PPI, which had already decreased to -1.4% YoY.

This downward trend in the PPI suggests a significant reduction in the prices that producers receive for their goods, impacting Sweden's manufacturing sector. A YoY comparison indicates that the current economic landscape may be pressuring producers with reduced pricing power amidst potential external and internal market changes.

The PPI serves as a critical indicator of the economic health of the manufacturing sector, often influencing monetary policy decisions. The consistent decline could prompt fiscal responses intended to stimulate demand or address underlying issues affecting Swedish producers. As Sweden navigates this downturn, industry observers and policymakers will closely monitor subsequent economic indicators to guide future decisions.
