Schweden Bip-Wachstum

Sweden’s economy grew 0.8% quarter-on-quarter in Q4 2024, revised up from an initial estimate of 0.2%, and accelerated from 0.6% in Q3. This marks the strongest expansion since Q2 2022, driven primarily by net trade, as goods exports rose 0.7% (vs. 0.9% in Q3), while imports fell 0.5% (vs. -1.8%). Fixed investments sharply rebounded, rising 1.8% after stagnating in the previous quarter, while household consumption also picked up (0.7% vs. 0.2%). However, government spending growth slowed (0.1% vs. 0.4%), and changes in inventories dragged GDP down by 0.6 percentage points, mainly due to a decline in industrial inventories. On a yearly basis, GDP grew 2.4%, the fastest since Q3 2022. For the full year, the Swedish economy expanded 1%.
