FX.co ★ Sweden’s Monthly GDP Growth Cools Sharply to 0.5% in April

Sweden’s economic momentum slowed in April 2026, with month‑over‑month GDP growth easing to 0.5%, down from 1.9% in March 2026. The latest data, updated on 10 June 2026, indicate a notable deceleration in the pace of expansion after a stronger performance at the end of the first quarter.

The reported figure reflects a comparison of April’s GDP level with that of March, while the previous reading captured the change in March relative to February. The shift from 1.9% to 0.5% month‑over‑month suggests that, although Sweden’s economy continued to grow in April, the rate of increase moderated significantly compared with the prior month’s robust gain.
