FX.co ★ Swedish Household Confidence Strengthens in January, Year-on-Year Indicator Rises to 2.8%

Sweden’s household confidence improved in January 2026, with the year-over-year indicator rising to 2.80%, up from 1.00% recorded in December 2025. The data, updated on 10 March 2026, show a continued strengthening in sentiment among Swedish households when comparing January 2026 to January a year earlier.

The “actual” reading for January reflects the change in household confidence versus the same month of the previous year, while the December 2025 figure represents the prior month’s year-over-year comparison. The acceleration from 1.00% to 2.80% suggests that Swedish consumers entered 2026 with a more positive outlook than at the end of 2025, potentially signaling firmer support for domestic demand going into the new year.
