Sweden’s household confidence indicator rose to 93.2 in September 2025 from an upwardly revised 91.6 in August, reflecting slightly improved sentiment though still below long-term norms. This also marked the highest reading since February. Views of household finances over the past year improved (-3 vs. -12 in June), while expectations for the broader economy in the year ahead brightened (-12 vs. -23). Still, households grew more cautious about their own finances (8 vs. 11), and sentiment toward capital goods purchases remained deeply negative (-20). Job insecurity eased, with fewer expecting higher unemployment (41 vs. 52), though concerns stayed elevated. Inflation expectations for the year ahead fell to 7.9% from 8.6%, while mortgage rate expectations declined modestly, suggesting households anticipate some relief in borrowing costs.
