Sweden Producer Price Inflation Hits 11.2 Percent in September

Statistics Sweden reported that producer price inflation rose to 11.2 percent in September 2026, marking the highest level since January 2023. The annual rate increased significantly from 6.8 percent in August.

On a monthly basis, overall producer prices climbed 3.4 percent, the strongest increase since March 2022. This surge was driven by price hikes for electricity and refined petroleum across all markets. Import price inflation accelerated to 15.5 percent from 9.5 percent in August, while export prices rose to 12.4 percent from 6.8 percent.

Excluding energy-related goods, producer prices increased by 6.2 percent compared to the previous year. Price statistician Carl Mårtensson noted that the September rate represents the highest annual rate since early 2023.
