Schweden Handelsbilanzsaldo

Sweden’s trade surplus widened sharply to SEK 6.2 billion in December 2024, up from SEK 1.3 billion in the same month last year. Exports fell by 0.7% year-on-year to SEK 158.7 billion, with increased sales to non-EU countries (+2.4%) partially offsetting a decline in exports to EU countries (-3.4%). Meanwhile, imports dropped more sharply, falling 3.8% to SEK 152.5 billion, driven by reduced purchases from both EU (-3.4%) and non-EU (-4.6%) countries. On a seasonally adjusted basis, the trade surplus rose to SEK 4.1 billion from SEK 2.7 billion in the previous month. For the entire year, the trade surplus increased to SEK 67.5 billion from SEK 45.9 billion last year, as exports declined by 1.9% and imports fell by 3%.
