Sweden’s consumer price index (CPI) remained unchanged in April 2026, with month-over-month inflation holding at -0.6%, matching the rate recorded in March 2026. According to the latest data updated on 06 May 2026, the price level in April declined at the same pace as in the previous month, underlining a persistent short-term deflationary environment.

On a month-over-month basis, the “Actual” figure for April reflects the price change compared with March, while the “Previous” figure represents March’s change versus February. The fact that both readings stand at -0.6% indicates that downward price pressures have not eased between the two periods, suggesting ongoing softness in consumer prices at the start of the second quarter of 2026.

This repeated negative monthly print may draw attention from policymakers and market participants monitoring Sweden’s inflation dynamics, particularly for signals on consumer demand and potential implications for future monetary policy decisions.
