Despite falling inflation and rising wages, Swedish households remain cautious with their spending. Economic experts cite lingering effects of the recent inflation shock, high prices, and rising loan costs as major factors. The Riksbank’s rapid rate cuts, from 4% to 2.75%, have not yet sparked significant consumer activity. Analysts from Nordea and SBAB point to reduced real incomes and household debt as key reasons for restrained spending. Calls for further rate reductions aim to boost consumer confidence and support the domestic economy. This episode unpacks the latest data and perspectives on Sweden’s economic landscape and the challenges ahead.
