Latest Updates

Retail sales in Sweden rose by 5.6% year-on-year in November 2025, accelerating from an upwardly revised 3.5% increase in the previous month. This marked the strongest annual increase since November 2021, driven by a faster rise in both non-durable goods (8.6% vs 6.0% in October) and grocery trade excluding Systembolaget (2.0% vs 0.3%). On a monthly basis, retail sales grew by 1.1% in November, rebounding from a downwardly revised 0.2% decline in the preceding month. Over the September-November period, sales were up 1.4% compared to the previous three months (June-August).
