8 August 2025, 22:18  Sweden: Household Spending Bounces Back in June.

Household spending in Sweden increased by 0.6% month-on-month in June 2025, rebounding from a downwardly revised 0.9% decline in May. The recovery was primarily driven by a rebound in transport, retail sales, and motor vehicle services (2.6% vs -0.2% in May), clothing and footwear (8.2% vs -11.7%), and recreation and culture goods and services (2.5% vs -2.6%). Meanwhile, spending growth moderated for other goods and services (0.2% vs 0.8%). Declines in food and beverages (-0.8% vs -2.9%) and furniture, furnishings, household equipment, and consumables (-0.5% vs -3.0%) were also less pronounced, helping to ease some pressure on overall consumption. In contrast, spending declined in housing, electricity, gas, and heating (-0.4% vs 0.8%), post and communications (-0.6% vs 2.7%), and restaurants, cafes, hotels, and other accommodation services (-2.2% vs 3.0%). On a year-on-year basis, household consumption rose 2.1%, accelerating from an upwardly revised 0.8% increase in May.
