On a monthly basis, the Producer Price Index (PPI) increased by 0.2% from August to September, while the Export Price Index fell by 1.6% and the Import Price Index decreased by 0.9%. Over the year, the PPI rose by 0.5% compared to September 2024, whereas export prices fell by 3.5% and import prices declined by 2.8%.
Key sectors contributed differently to these shifts. In the domestic market, price increases were driven by district heating, food products, basic metals, and trade services of electricity. In contrast, the export market saw decreases in prices for other machinery and equipment, pulp, paper and paperboard, basic chemicals, sawn and planed wood, basic iron and steel, and electrical equipment. Import prices fell for crude oil, food products, rubber and plastic products, fabricated metal products, communication equipment, electrical equipment, other machinery and equipment, and other parts and accessories for motor vehicles.
Energy-related products remain a notable driver of price changes. Producer prices for this category increased by 16.4% compared to September 2024. Excluding energy-related products, the annual rate decreased from -2.2% in August to -1.6% in September. Meanwhile, the price index for domestic supply of consumer goods increased from 1.6% in August to 2.8% in September.
These statistics highlight the complex dynamics shaping Sweden's economic landscape, reflecting both areas of growth and ongoing challenges. The variations underscore the influence of global commodity prices, energy costs, and supply chain pressures on the domestic market, as well as competitive pressures in international trade.
The data provides crucial insights for businesses, policymakers, and industry stakeholders, enabling informed decision-making amid evolving economic conditions.
