Sweden’s CPI Flat in August, Extends Deflationary Pause Month-on-Month

Sweden’s consumer price index (CPI) recorded no change in August on a month-over-month basis, holding steady at -0.3% for a second consecutive month. According to the latest data updated on 14 September 2026, the August 2026 reading matches the previous month’s -0.3% change, indicating that prices continued to decline at the same pace relative to the prior month.

The unchanged month-on-month CPI suggests that short-term price pressures remain subdued, with no visible rebound from July’s decline. As the indicator is measured against the previous month, the latest figure underscores a stable yet mildly deflationary environment rather than a renewed rise in consumer prices. Investors and policymakers will be closely watching upcoming releases to see whether this trend persists or begins to normalize in the coming months.
