Sweden’s trade surplus widened to SEK 1.5 billion in October 2025, nearly doubling the SEK 0.8 billion recorded in the same month last year. Exports fell 1.6% year-on-year to SEK 181.2 billion, driven by lower sales to non-EU countries (-4.4% to SEK 80.1 billion), while shipments to EU countries increased 0.8% to SEK 101.1 billion. Meanwhile, imports dropped at a faster pace of 2.2% to SEK 179.7 billion, due to decreased purchases from non-EU countries (-7.8% to SEK 54.5 billion), while imports from EU countries rose 0.8% to SEK 125.2 billion. From January to October, the cumulative trade surplus increased to SEK 57.3 billion from SEK 55.9 billion in the corresponding period last year. On a seasonally adjusted basis, the trade surplus was unchanged at SEK 4.7 billion.
